Mobile login page of Xing looks like a phishing site
When you go on your mobile phone to http://www.xing.com (German competitor of LinkedIn) you see the following login-screen:
Below the username- and password-field you need to click the checkbox next to the text “I allow the application access to my data on Xing”.
This is highly confusing for a user, since I expect this kind of microcopy when connecting through a third-party application, but not when logging in into a mobile website.
Moreover it’s not easy to detect the current context on a mobile device. I.e. I caught myself checking the url again (“Am I really on the correct website? Is there some kind of phishing going on?”)
Xing, you can do much better than that. Check out the mobile site of your competitor LinkedIn:
