Login, Sign-up, putting passwords, etc., seem boring to users. But all these are necessary as users have to check out the updates posted by their favourite friends and media.
App developers know that sign-in and sign-up processes are painful to users. That’s why most of apps allow users’ to stay signed-in, so that each time they don’t require putting ids and passwords.
But some apps like banking apps which are more worried about security matters have to put users a step away before they log in. Banking apps necessarily need users to put security code before check in to their account. Hence, one can’t skip sign-in and sign-up process in all apps.
Fast forward to the topic – to turn the inescapable, painful sign-in process into a pleasant one, developers can adopt some animations that turn the process into a fun.
Sign-In Interaction
You can’t imagine how much users can enjoy your sign-in process, if you animate something like given in the above GIF. Animated design like this creates a feeling of strong interaction between users and the app.
Registration in Motion
We all know that registration process is more painful than sign-in process. It asks for various information like name, email id, password, birth date, etc., while sign-in just ask for id and password. If your app is something that requires some necessary details from users’ side, you must put your registration process in motion to eliminate users’ frustration.
This is how you can put registration in motion:
Shake it When Users are Wrong
When someone is shaking while speaking, we often consider that he/she is telling a lie. Why not put the same strategy in app login process where users often hit a wrong password.
Shake the wrong passwords.
Pop-Up with Suggestions
I don’t remember any other app providing username suggestions except Gmail. If you also want to offer username suggestions, suggestions in form of pop-ups can be a real fun.
Bounce it to remind it
Users often forget their passwords. They spent a couple of minutes in reminding what their passwords were? Of course, top app development companies put “forgot password” below the sign-in option. But if you make it bounce, then you can eliminate the “password thinking” process of users. And also, it will add pleasure to “forgot password” button.
When Verification is Necessary for More Secure Apps
This reminds me of my banking app that sends me a verification code before letting me in into my online bank account. The verification process includes more steps than general login process. Also, it lets users wait until they receive the code and put it on the screen.
Isn’t it a good idea to let users wait with enjoyment? The above GIF allows verification code in such a way that users love to wait for code to arrive and they enjoy putting it on the screen.
Sign In = Sign Up
Asking Same Details on Sign In and Sign Up can be a hassle free work for users – only if you don’t need more details from them. Take inspiration from the above GIF by Groceries.
Blurred Background Animation
Who cares about blurred designs? Yes, users care about blurred images if you show them what’s inside the app when they sign in. It means: put blurred version of app on sign-in page to enhance users’ login decision. Just like Dribble.
At last, you have a good number of options to animate your app’s sign-in and sign-up process. Must implement them and let us know about your improvements.
