bad user interface

Your password will expire in 7 days.
You can change your password now or change it later.

[ OK ] [ Change ]


The first time I encountered this.. took me a few secs to decide which button to press. I don't want to be tricked, u know..


OK - can mean.. change it now or change it later.
Change - obviously means Change password.
Or, pressing both buttons could be double confirmation like - 'Ok, change'



Reminds me of a certain country's voting system joke..

Do you not want to not vote for D'Monkey ?
[ No ] or [ Yes ]
