Compare experimental login types on the beta cluster
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Compare experimental login types on the beta cluster.

To do:

  • Add code to allow launching the different workflows from the login link
  • Enable it in the config on the beta cluster only
  • Make screen recordings of the three workflows
  • Discuss with designers

Desired outcome: decision on which workflow we're going to use in T364941 (or at least input into that decision).

We got in touch with the design team, whose response is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DQM_xi7fK2_YfFMV6mulGYTxmmr_tADHRhLrI7x-jMk/edit#heading=h.e4e6d6c4proc

To summarize: they advise strongly against the popup, and would prefer a solution that changes as little as possible from a UX perspective, ideally just doing a full page navigation to the login form as we do now.

And for future reference, the screen recordings of the currently implemented experiences (since we'll probably undeploy them soon):
