5 details to improve the user logon experience

The best way to improve the user experience is to try to make the user realize the simple and smooth flow of the whole operation. To improve the user experience of the login process, there are many factors that need to be considered by the designer. In this article, we will focus on the 5 details of the process optimization for the login interface. We'll start with two different types of logins, always talking about the importance of identity.

Logon type

Currently, there are two main types of logins, one is by registering on the site itself, and the second is using third party social network accounts, such as Google, Facebook, Sina Weibo, and so on. At present, many applications use the second type of login, designers and developers only need to do a good login button and interface.

Relatively traditional approach, usually requires you to set user name, email and password. This login process can be optimized, so the next 5 strategies are relevant. Although the two kinds of login methods have advantages and disadvantages, but today's main discussion is the traditional login mode optimization.

1. Use email to sign in

The traditional registration process, do not set the user name is still very normal, and email is usually required, of course, both are used in a more common situation. What I want to say is that where the user name is allowed to be filled in, email input should also be supported.

I've come across an input box that supports both username and email login, but the annotation only writes "username", which is a typical design failure.

The problem is that on different websites, users usually register with an email, but the username is not the same. The user experience is significantly less convenient if you can only log in using the username.

　2, the obvious error reminder

When users log in, the way the system monitors and feeds the information is also well worth examining. When the user input error, the system feedback too much information may give the hacker the opportunity to steal the number, and reflect too little information, it will make users confused.

We are very clear that the user input error, the system returned to the user information is "Invalid input (Invalid input)" is certainly not much significance. You have to tell users in a more popular language that their input is wrong.

If you want to provide a better user experience, use JavaScript to help users authenticate information. The perfect example of this is the error correction function of the mobile input method, when you enter ". Con", the input method will automatically correct to ". com", or provide users with the opportunity to correct. When the user input error and because of input error again input, may wish to provide accurate description information, reasonable guide users. This not only makes the user more relaxed, but also saves time.

　3, plus "Forget the password?" Link

You might think, "Forget the password?" function is a natural feature, but some websites do ignore it. The "Forgot password" link is as important as the login box, don't hide the link, and don't let the user run out of the mind to find it. Let it be ready for the user at all times. It doesn't need to be in a conspicuous place, but it should be close to the user's login form for a rainy order.

　4, let the user focus on the login

Typically, the login box exists as a pop-up box or as a separate login page. Having a login without a jump page does have its advantages, but if you take into account the other elements of the page that interfere with the user, you should be aware of the need for a separate login page. You want to show the user content, recommend the product, let the user log in after more fluent not it? When the user registers, checkout, usually is a separate page, let the user focus on doing one thing, then this setting should extend to the login interface. Compared to complex content pages, landing pages have less content and load faster, which is also the advantage of a separate login page.

　5, logo is very important

Do not label "submit" or "Finish" on the button that submits the information, but use "login". It's simple. For the user, this will make the user understand that their actions and expectations are the same, although for the system this behavior is to submit information.

Not only that, the "Enter user name or mailbox" is marked in the login box to avoid the use of placeholders or other identifiers that are easy to confuse the user. These are an important part of enhancing the user experience.

　Conclusion

Details affect the experience and determine success or failure. These 5 items are really nuances, but you need to take these factors into account in order to do the design of the login box. On the basis of making these settings, and then polishing the vision, will make your site experience on the previous level.
