This is what the screen looks like after:

  1. clicking on the SQRL button in my app
  2. clicking on the plugin sqrl icon, labeled with the IDTY as you can see in the screenshot.

However, what happens next is confusing. I was expecting to see a login button, but I did not.
At first I was thinking it was not installed completely, or it had some kind of error. After messing with this for a while, I realized that there is no identity installed. One more thing I should mention is that this occurred on a chrome browser where I had just enabled sync with google. That process pulled in my other extensions, including this one. The others seem to be working fine - they don't require configuration - but it was not clear that this one needed some extra work on my part. Namely, I needed to either create an identity or import one.

So what I'm thinking is that maybe this plugin should step a new user through the process of installing their identity when it realizes it does not know who this user is, instead of showing a default home page like this with buttons to click on. I suspect that new users that aren't security professionals won't really know what an identity is or that they need to click on some of these buttons.
