In this document, we present existing current flows for creating an account and signing in with your account.

Create an account

Step 1 - arrive to a community

Step 2 - join and create an account

Step 3 - start email validation

Step 4 - validate your email

Step 5 - use a passkey

Step 6 - add a Passkey

Step 7 - create your profile

Step 8 - join the new community

Step 1:
- Flow Ok.
- Optimization: we need to give better reasons to join because right now nobody is joining.
Step 2:
- Flow Ok.
- Fine. Maybe too wordy IMO (GABO)
Step 3:
- There was a weird flash when the page loaded. Please, let's fix it.
- I get two emails
Step 4:
- I have already seen many users getting lost with this page. Now I understand why is necessary to have the short code and let the user find the page with Step 5.
- At least, is it possible to continue from this page to Step 5? but I don't think the current set up is working.
Step 5.
- I had to refresh the page on step 5 to move on.
- I don't know what is the solution, or if we just need to keep it this way, but people don't understand "Use Passkey" and they drop.
Step 6:
- out of our control.
Step 7:
- What if we merge Steps 5 and 7?
Step 8:
- As you can see on the screen it took me to the account instead of back to the Site.

Sign In

The user is already a member and wants to join again:

Step 1 - land to site

Step 2 - sign in into the community

Step 3 - use your passkey

Step 4 - confirma and join?

Step 5 - confirmation that you have join

Step 6 - read your notifications

Step 1:
- Step one we are missing the avatar close to the Join button.
Step 2:
- Users don't understand why are they joining again if they have already joined.
Step 3:
- improve the copy.
Step 4:
- is not necessary if there is only one account.
Step 5:
- Why it is congratulating to become a member if I am already a member?
Step 6:
- Should the bottom left buttons be at the top left?
- We are missing the new feed icon.

Desktop flow is the same as the web, except for the screen where the user gets to decide if using a local vault only:

Step 1 - create an account

Step 2 - chose your vault

Step 3 - creating the account and the vault

Initial Sketch

Step 1:

Step 2:

The happy and primary path is creating a remote vault. We add a secondary option: I don't want a vault server running in the cloud.

The same as create an account. Same flow than the web, but we need to design this page
