All Things Users

Sign-up

  • As an unregistered and unauthorized user, I want to be able to register for the website via a sign-up form.
    • When I'm on the sign-up modal:
      • I would like to be able to enter my email, username, and preferred password on a clearly laid out form.
      • I would like the website to log me in upon successful completion of the sign-up form.
    • When I enter invalid data on the sign-up form:
      • I would like the website to inform me of the validations I failed to pass, and repopulate the form with my valid entries (except my password).
      • So that I can try again without needing to refill forms I entered valid data into.

    • When I'm on the log in modal:

Demo User

  • As an unregistered and unauthorized user, I would like an easy to find and clear button on both the sign-up and log in modal to allow me to visit the site as a guest without signing up or logging in.
    • When I'm on either the sign-up or log in modals:
