Registration Form Design: Form design and overall experience for modifying passwords

Article Description: Modify the form design and overall experience of the password.

The end of 2011 has burst CSDN, Tianya sites such as users of plaintext password leakage, we have been busy to modify the password, many sites also by posting prominently in the Web site announcements or send a message to remind users to change their password in a timely manner to ensure that the account security. For the site, I want users to be able to regularly take the initiative to modify the password and to ensure a certain degree of complexity, but for users, generally less than the last resort, often do not modify the password. The same is the form, the registration form of the product design we often discuss, then modify the password of the form design and the overall experience?

First, large portal

1. NetEase Pass

Each input box in the form gives validity feedback, and the complexity of the new password is always shown below the input box, and the Verification code (in English + numeric, case-insensitive) is required.

Another: The interface has a ">" character leakage, should be a defect.

2. Sohu Pass

The current user name is prompted in the interface, and when the focus is in the input box, follow the instructions that the input box prompts for the complexity of the password, and the verification code is lowercase English + digits.

Second, SNS community

1. Renren

In this observation, Renren's password modification process is relatively special, it has given the "authentication" step before modifying the password, provided the authentication old password, sends the password reset mail to the registered mailbox, the account complaint three kinds of ways. It to the user's guidance more clearly, when the user remembers the password after a long time to forget the password, can directly through the way of sending the message to modify the password, and do not have to exit the login and then go back to retrieve the password process.

2. Tianya

When the old password is entered, it is checked for accuracy in real time, and the focus is removed from the input box to check for validity; When the focus is in the input box for the new password, it prompts for the complexity of the password (which forces the combination of letters and numbers); Oddly enough, why, "enter a 6-16-digit combination of letters and numbers, the password is case-sensitive" Will always appear below the validation code input box--is this a new password or an authentication code for the table item object that this sentence is for? This is an unnecessary obsession.

3. Douban

Douban's password-modification interface is simple, even rudimentary-no validation of the form's items, or even a description of the length of the password. "Current Password" and "New password" copy of the differences do not know whether it can, personally think or unified for the password is better, although the password more obvious geek.

4. Facebook

Facebook does not give a description of the password input in the interface, no reminders when the current password entry is empty, a reminder when the new password is too short or too simple, and prompts for a duplicate password to match the new password.

Third, micro-blog

1. Sina Weibo

The reminder interface is highlighted in red to inform the user of the importance of password security; The table items are validated when the focus is removed, and the security intensity ruler is used to remind users to use a strong password again; When the focus is selected, the length of the user's password is indicated.

2. Twitter

A prompt is not given when a table item is empty, as with Facebook, when the new password is too short or too simple; if the old password is wrong, it will appear at the top of the page after clicking "Change", which is consistent with the whole station's unified feedback; It should be noted that Twitter has a password-changing interface that gives you access to the password, which is similar to Renren when you click on the page that enters your mailbox to retrieve the password.
