Kontomenü

Kontomenü is a user interface element that provides access to account-related actions and preferences. It is typically represented by an avatar or a user name and located in a page header or navigation bar. The menu may be visible to guests for sign-in or appear only after signing in, depending on the service.

Common contents include: Profile, Settings, Security, Billing, Language, Help, and Sign out. Some implementations also offer options such as Switch account, Activity, or Privacy controls. The exact items depend on the service, the user’s status, and the platform.

Interaction and behavior: Kontomenü is usually implemented as a dropdown or popover that opens on click or tap, and on focus for keyboard users. It should close when clicking outside, pressing Escape, or selecting an item. Mobile versions may use a slide-in panel or a compact menu to save space. Good design keeps focus management clear and predictable.

Design considerations include clear labeling and consistent icons, placement in expected regions, adequate contrast and touch targets, and avoiding exposure of sensitive data in the open view. Menus should align with platform design guidelines and maintain visual consistency across sections of the product.

Security and privacy considerations: avoid exposing sensitive actions in the open view, and require re-authentication for critical tasks when appropriate. Implement secure session handling and provide visible indicators of signed-in status. Allow users to sign out across devices and manage active sessions where possible.

Localization and accessibility: translate labels properly and support right-to-left layouts where needed. Ensure keyboard operability and screen-reader accessibility with appropriate ARIA attributes. Keep animations minimal to respect users with motion sensitivity.
