<h3 id=ui-guidelines>User interface guidelines</h3>

<p>User agents should not distinguish between network state and storage in their user interface.
Instead user agents should offer users the ability to clear all storage for each group of
<a>schemelessly same site</a> <a for=/>origins</a>. This ensures to some extent that network state
cannot be used to revive storage. This also reduces the amount users need to know about the
different ways in which websites can store data.
<p>User agents should offer users the ability to clear network state and storage for individual
websites. User agents should not distinguish between network state and storage in their user
interface. This ensures network state cannot be used to revive storage and reduces the number of
concepts users need to be mindful of.

as an autogenerated password. Permissions are best separated too to avoid inconveniencing the user.
