1935921 - Gather data on when and why OAuth authentication windows are shown

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

It would be helpful to have a baseline level of how often the OAuth window appears, so that if there is a spike in the number we can determine if it's because we did something or if the provider is up to something. So I'm suggesting we should record a telemetry event whenever an OAuth window is shown, including the provider's name, the reason for showing the window, and if the authentication was successful.

Good to go.

1. Is there Documentation?

• This collection is documented in the Glean Dictionary at https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/
• https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/mail/metrics.yaml

2. Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn this data collection off?

Yes: Standard telemetry preferences.

If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes, Geoff Lankow(:darktrojan).

Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 2: Interaction data.

Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

default-on

Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc. See the appendix for more details)?

No.

Is the data collection covered by the existing Thunderbird privacy notice? If unsure: escalate to legal if:

Yes.

Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool? If yes, escalate to legal.
