How to Sign In: Tell them to watch their step

Millennials have an average of 40 services registered to one email. These services hardly have the same password requirements and ask you to plug in a special character here and over 8 characters there. That’s hard for us to keep track of which ones we use where, and these services aren’t making it easy for us. When signing up for these services, they tell us the requirements, but when signing back in, there is no mention of them.
Make your requirements clear, and put them upfront as a hint. Don’t rely on your users to fail to understand what they are doing wrong.
Being proactive and anticipating your users’ needs earns their respect and long-term membership. That’s what this UX game is all about. No matter how small you think this nuisance is, it’s the front door of your establishment. You could hang up a sign that says GTFO and they might do just that, or you could welcome them in with open arms. And telling them to watch their step couldn’t hurt either.
