Témoignage de Joachim RobertKissKissBankBank, Web Integrator

When I changed careers, I wanted to bring meaning to my new assignments. Because I felt the need to consider the end user first, I took the Opquast training and then the certification. Thanks to what I learned, I succeeded in my interviews and convinced those who became my team. Opquast gave me the keys to understand quality, but also to find missions that make sense.
Certification
The Opquast certification has already enabled more than 20,000 web professionals to train and have their skills recognized. It allows hundreds of teams and web service providers to acquire a common culture and vocabulary for web activities.

Goal

Some websites display login forms in separate windows, without the browser address bar. These isolated windows, without the URL displayed, can be used to retrieve login credentials, without users having any way of knowing that they are not on the correct website (phishing). In general, it is always useful to know which website you are on.

Technical solution

Do not use popup opening techniques that hide the window's address bar. For example, window.open() with the options location="no," toolbar="no," fullscreen, or kiosk.

Control method

Check each open window to see if the browser address bar is visible.
