The button to sign in is clearly called “Log in” and the signup field clearly has the button that says “Sign up for free”. And you’re expected to log in from the login page (by clicking the login button).
Really not seeing the problem here. Is it perfect? No. Have I seen worse? Oh yeah.
Yes, they’re labeled. My usual experience online though is that this is presented the other way around. Signing up is its own button, and logging in is the default field. So, I’m sure like many others, I intuitively go forth and try to sign in.
I’m posting this in the mildly infuriating community, because the interface is counterintuitive. This wasn’t posted in “worst UIs.”
This looks like every login page on every website currently
In my experience they look like this:
well, you were looking at the home page, not the login page
To me the process seems most intuitive like this:
- Go to homepage
- Be able to immediately log in or have separate links for login and sign up
I find it counterintuitive to have a field on the homepage that looks like a login but isn’t. Does the website have more new users than returning users?
What I find annoying is when the “Sign up with …” button only imports all your data. It doesn’t use OAuth to sign you in and requires you to create a password.
THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF SIGNING IN WITH A THIRD PARTY!
They might ask you to create a password, but you don’t need to use the password to sign in.
