Instagram Log In Flow

UX Skills


Project Goal

​​​​​​​I wanted to do a quick study of a frequented log in flow. I decided on Instagram, because of my use of it. Because users remain logged in, I didn't recall the process Instagram created for their users. It ended up being more complicated than I thought with multiple options for logging in.

Project Focus

Paper Wireframes, Clickable Prototype

My Role

To do a quick study of the Instagram log in process and quickly document each step.

Tools Used

Pen and Paper, InVision, Mobile Instagram Application

About

With most mobile applications and web apps, the user is required to log in or create a personal profile. With this process being so universal, I wanted to do a study of an application that is frequently used and take the opportunity to create wireframes linked into InVision. I learned that the process isn't as streamlined as I expected it to be. If you previously signed in through facebook, you cannot sign in with your username and password and vise versa. The clickable prototype is of the different pages Instagram requires interactions with to log in for the first time. Speed was a main concern in creating the wireframes. It was completed in 30 minutes.
