A tumblr post saying "i really like this thing where websites will have separate “log in” & “sign up” buttons and if you click “log in” it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click “i already have an account” and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose “username & password” it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says “do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?”
If the PM gets to make design decisions then that counts.
I know why it ends up this way, because the stupid people who complain the most don’t know if they have an account or not, but the workflow that has become common is the must frustrating one for users who do know what they are doing.
