Log In and Sign Up pages may sometimes resemble each other. Your job is to help users switch between pages as quickly and easily as possible if they accidentally land on the wrong page.

To allow easy switching between Log In and Sign Up pages:

  • Use titles to indicate the current page clearly.
  • Place the link redirecting to the login/signup page where users expect to encounter it. Usually, it should sit above the inputs.
  • Use clear language that eliminates any guesswork on what happens after users click this link.
  • Third-party buttons allowing log in or sign up with Google, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media accounts should be present on both Log In and Sign Up pages.

Pro Tip: Alternatively, you can create two tabs to switch between the Signup and Login pages.
