Remove Leaving Figma External Link Warning for anyone without an account/not logged in

Would like to see the options on this

Any updates here? The message still appears when trying to forward the prototype to external parties…

I’m still seeing this message as of writing.

Hey All, thanks for your feedback!

We’ve updated this topic to a feature request for users without a Figma account or are not logged in. As mentioned above, we’ve only removed interstitials for external links in Figma and FigJam when logged in.

During most user testing, users are not logged in and are using a browser.

If the prototype creator’s information is visible, those publishing the work should be responsible for all links. I am not sure there are significant security concerns.

The notification could be changed to a toast message, or at least, this page should not display such small text on mobile browsers like Safari (this page wasn’t responsive).

Sincerely hope attention can be given to this issue!
Much appreciated, Figma team!

Much needed! Thank you!

This is still an issue. I don’t think Figma cares about their users and just wants to drain money from us.

They only fixed it for users who are logged into Figma, obviously they want as many users on a paid plan as possible. It is unlikely when doing user testing that all participants will have Figma accounts and sharing my account with them is arguably more unsafe. It is just ridiculous as other things like Invision allow this.

Surprised nothing has been done about this because it fundamentally breaks Figma as a tool for usability testing.

As has already been mentioned participants in usability testing are not going to be logged in to Figma (or even have an account), so they are always going to see this interstitial when visiting external links.

At least make the warning responsive so the text is legible? Currently we are having to coach participants to navigate past it in the middle of a session.

I do not think they care. Maybe will look into using Penpot.

Logged-in or Logged-out accounts do not matter. There is still an issue on Desktop Figma even for the logged-in account. Figma Prototype and Figma Slides presentation.

It’s a terrible flow-breaking decision — make it a preselection, dialog question at the start, or anything else.
