| Context | In the case of critical warnings, when the warning first appears, the means for dismissing the warning should not be the most prominent feature. |
| Problem | Users may choose to ignore a warning because it presents an easy way of dismissing it. |
| Solution | The option to dismiss the warning should not be immediately displayed. |
| Examples | None |
| Implementation | The option of dismissing a warning and not following the recommended option should not be the most prominent feature. Instead, either make the recommended option more prominent, require the user to take several steps to dismiss the warning, or hide the means of dismissing the warning altogether. |
| Consequences | If users notice the indicator, understand what it is saying, but see that it is easy to dismiss, they may not believe that it represents a serious threat. |
