New registration and sign in forms

Hi all,

Just to let you know we’ve slightly rearranged the login and register forms to make it easier to both sign in and create an account. If you’re logged in already it won't affect you – you’ll only see the changes if you need to sign in again or log in from a new device.

Previously we had one page that contained both the sign in and register forms, with tabs to switch between them. If you wanted to register but landed on the sign in tab, you had to click to get to the register form and vice-versa.

Now, you just enter your email address and the site will automatically take you to the right place – no need for that extra click. Sites like The Guardian and Google use this flow too, and we believe it’ll provide a smoother experience.

What do you think? How could we make the process of signing in or registering with Mumsnet easier?

We’ll be tracking how it’s working and making improvements based on the statistics and feedback we receive, so your comments will be much appreciated.

Hi @WaterBird, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like it. Yes, you were right about it not being your email password – we'd never ask you for that.

To make it clearer, we'll update the text on the password field to read 'Your Mumsnet password'.

Hi @BlackBeltInChildWrangling and @Shampaincharly, thanks for your feedback.

The password field thing is because your browser has saved your login details at some point. It automatically enters the relevant saved password for your email when the page loads to make logging in more convenient. However it's possible to turn it off in your browser's settings if you don't want that to happen.
