Problem Statement

The existing login flow of the platform faced several critical challenges:

  • Inconsistent Design: The current login flow did not align with the revamped user experience and UI of the Gen2 concept.

  • Technical and Visual Issues: Various usability and technical problems were identified, creating a less-than-optimal user experience.

  • Missing Signup Option: The absence of a signup feature limited new user acquisition and ease of access.

  • Error Handling: Users landing on error screens had no clear navigation options to restart the login process or resolve issues.

  • Password Reset Flow: Multiple issues in the password reset journey, such as lack of error-specific messages and incomplete user paths, hindered seamless resolution.

  • Communication Gaps: Users lacked proactive notifications about password expirations or confirmations after resets, affecting overall user trust and engagement.

  • Align the login flow with the Gen2 design system to ensure consistency and brand integrity.

  • Resolve identified technical and visual issues to enhance usability and reliability.

  • Introduce a signup feature to streamline user onboarding.
