[rossbb]

Problem Alignment

The Problem:

Currently, Hosts do not have a way to create an account for Home Unite Us. As a result, Hosts cannot login to create a profile, a required step to host Guests on the platform.

User Story:

As a potential Host, I want to create an account on Home Unite Us so that I can login and apply to be a Host.

High Level Approach:

Allow Hosts to create a Home Unite Us user account.

Solution Alignment

Considerations:

Goals & Success:

Success is if Hosts can create a user account from the Home Unite Us website.

Key Features:

• A button to create a new account from the Home Unite Us homepage
• Option to select Host (other option: Coordinator)
• Field to enter an email address or continue with Google or Apple
• Fields to input and confirm password, with validation
• A verification email that is sent to the inputted email address, containing a verification link

Acceptance Criteria:

• Users can select create new account from the Home Unite Us homepage
• Users can select user type (Coordinator, Host)
• Users can enter an email address or continue with Google, Apple
• Users can create a password
  • If the password meets the validation requirements, a verification email is sent to the provided email containing a verification link
  • If the password does not meet the validation requirements, the user will see which validation requirements were not met and can try again with another password
• Users will click the verification link in the email which will confirm the user account and redirect the user to the login portal
• The user can then enter an email address and password or continue with Google or Apple
  • If the login was successful, users will be redirected to the Coordinator home page
  • If the login was not successful, the user will see an error message and can try logging in again
• The user flow can be completed across desktop, mobile, and tablet

Designs:

• Review existing designs on Figma
• Edit existing designs as needed and share a link to the updated designs in this issue

Key Decisions:

• After successfully logging in for the first time, the user will be redirected to the app (versus the default redirect to an AWS page). The rationale is that users will have a better first experience with the app if redirected to the app versus the AWS page. This will require additional dev effort - if significant dev effort is needed will revisit.
