We want to find out if the log in process is intuitive for the user or not. So we get to know about user's handling with apps and their expectations. We hope to get suggestions and ideas for a better log in process based on the user's behavior. | ||
<div style="color:darkgreen">Great idea. It is not easy though to see why for an outsider. You could fix it by explaining first, why and how you canged to the topic "login" and because of this it could not be part of the interview process one or two weeks ago.</div>--[[User:JanD|JanD]] 19:58, 13 December 2013 (CET) | <div style="color:darkgreen">Great idea.

<div style="color:darkgreen">There are lots of "the user wants". It would be easier for outsiders to understand, if you could explain ''why'' the user wants this ('''if''' you know that. Naturally, my request is not asking for inventing explanations! If you only know that users ''want'' but not ''why'' you could make it subject of further research)</div>--[[User:JanD|JanD]] 19:58, 13 December 2013 (CET) | <div style="color:darkgreen">There are lots of "the user wants".

<div style="color:darkgreen">Nice proposal. Are you really talking about the log-in or about setting up a new (Jabber) account? Because in my experience it is not easy to set it up, but once you have your account working and data saved, it behaves very well. But please prove me wrong if that is a singular experience</div>--[[User:JanD|JanD]] 19:58, 13 December 2013 (CET) | <div style="color:darkgreen">Nice proposal.

<div style="color:blue">We really focus on the sign up process. There is the problem that you don't get an advice to enter the password but it is nessacary. The process is very inconvenient, it needs to many steps till you can start to chat so that we want to create an easier way. [M.E.]</div> | |||
'''Plans – how we want to solve the problem(s)''' | |||
Method 1: Other application's test | |||
First we start to analyse the login process at other applications. | |||
We found out that WhatsApp is the most widespread app to chat for our target group, second one is the Facebook messanger. | |||
''' | 1. WhatsApp | ||
This application doesn't contain a login process. You only have to choose the app to be online and you directly see all of your conversations. It is quite easy and intuitive. | |||
2. Facebook Messenger | |||
This application functions nearly the same way as WhatsApp, so you don't need a password to sign in. | |||
Our conclusion: | |||
Both applications manage without a password. That's quite intuitive but it isn't quite save. While doing our interviews we experienced that it would be convenient to have a password to have a safety warranty (e.g. in case of losing the smartphone) | |||
Solution: | |||
We want it as intuitive as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger but we also want it to be save. So there have to be an additional button for entering a password. | |||
