The Problem

Currently, users do not have a place to log in to the Home Unite Us application. This problem applies to all user roles (Admin, Coordinator, Guest, Host).

User Story:

As a user, I need a place to log in so that I can access the Home Unite Us application.

High Level Approach

Create a portal where can login (i.e., enter username and password) and follow links to Forgot Password and Create Account. After successfully logging in, the user will be forwarded to a placeholder landing page.

Solution Alignment

Considerations

• Anticipate that users will be using desktop, tablet, mobile devices --> use responsive design
• In the future, the plan is for the login experience to support multiple organizations (SPY and beyond)
• AWS Cognito supports login customization

Goals and Success

Success is if all user roles have a place to log in to the Home Unite Us application.

Key Features

• Login portal with username and password inputs connected to the authentication service (AWS Cognito)
• Option to login using Google and Apple
• Error message for invalid username and/or password
• Link to create account (for Coordinators and Hosts)
• Forgot Password link

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can access the login portal from homeunite.us
• Users who enter a valid username and password (or login via Google or Apple) will be forwarded to a placeholder landing page
• Users who enter an invalid username and password will see an error message
• Users can access a forgot password link from the login portal (forgot password functionality will be addressed by a different story)
• Users can access a link to create an account from the login portal and homeunite.us (create account functionality will be addressed by other stories)
• User flows above can be completed on desktop, mobile, and tablet

Known Limitations

• This issue focuses on creating the login portal. Other stories address user account creation, needed for users to successfully log in.

Designs

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

Key Decisions

• Use Google and Apple as third party auth options (not Facebook due to reputational concerns). Can revisit as needed in the future.

Hi @edela0015, I had one comment on the Figma - otherwise this is looking super good and it's clear how the design meets the acceptance criteria, thank you!
