Combined Login+Sign Up Interaction
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Just found this and thought perhaps we could combine the login / register interface into one. Perhaps we could even auto detect the email field if it exists or not onChange to get the form to react in realtime showing either a “login” or “register” button.

Two things to consider.
1)The UI should not be too clever for it's own good. Things can get messy real quick if the user makes a typo in either field (esp if the password is masked)
2)The pavlovian convention should not be ignored. Take too many learned cues away and the user must think about want is being asked of them.
It took me a few uses to learn the 'simple' amazon method. I like Leah's design and the target market is 'net savvy Designers. Just be cognizant that Going too simple/smart can increase cognitive load.
I overlooked the typo scenario! Thanks for pointing that out! All good points.
The audience for this is designers! I think you can pull out all sorts of nifty designy bits and it will just attract the sort of folks who do wireframing.

I'm not as keen on that. It works on the iphone because the keyboard and field are in the same field of vision. Low end users who switch between looking at the keyboard and the screen will not take advantage of this solution.
I really likethe Chroma Hash design

Chroma has is very very sexy
On http://www.playfire.com a smart thing is that if a user types in their user name and password into the "sign up" box. The system is clever enough to check if the username exists, checks the passwords and logs the user in.
Not the most convenient solution but is indeed a smart way to help the ones who gets lost.
On a second thought. Perhaps we could still show two buttons (login and register), but emphasize one over the other to cue which one is the more appropriate one (based on whether the login exists or not). To Pauric's point, the user would still have a choice but one would be more prominent.

Hey all, I had been just checkin out this web site and i also really admire the inspiration of this article!
Quite some years from currently, tanda na ko nun! Di na pretty, wala onal attraction, uugud-ugod, nguya nganga, dala baston. Pero pag uso philadelphia ang text message, iti text pa rin kita.
An attention-grabbing dialogue is value comment. I believe that you must write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo topic but usually people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
