Login and Registration UI is one of the most common interface patterns in web and mobile applications. It allows users to securely access an existing account, create a new account, recover credentials, and complete authentication-related tasks through a clear and user-friendly interface.
In Figma, designers can create login and registration screens with reusable components, Auto Layout, variants, input fields, buttons, icons, validation states, responsive layouts, and interactive prototypes.

Login UI is the interface that allows an existing user to access an application using credentials such as an email address, username, phone number, password, or supported authentication method.
A good login interface should be simple, trustworthy, accessible, responsive, and focused on helping the user complete authentication with minimum effort.
Registration UI is the interface used by new users to create an account. It generally collects information such as name, email address, phone number, password, and other required details.
The registration experience should clearly explain required information, password requirements, validation rules, privacy expectations, and the next step after successful account creation.

Input fields are one of the most important parts of authentication UI. They should clearly communicate what information the user needs to provide.
| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Label | Identifies the required information |
| Placeholder | Provides an example or hint |
| Input area | Allows the user to enter information |
| Helper text | Explains requirements |
| Error message | Explains invalid input |
| Success state | Confirms valid information |
| Icon | Provides additional functionality or visual context |
A professional authentication design should include multiple input states instead of designing only the default state.
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | Normal field before interaction |
| Hover | Field appearance when the pointer is over it |
| Focus | Field currently receiving input |
| Filled | Field containing valid information |
| Error | Field containing invalid information |
| Success | Field containing successfully validated information |
| Disabled | Field that cannot currently be edited |
| Read Only | Information can be viewed but not modified |
Password fields should provide an appropriate balance between security and usability. A visibility toggle can allow users to check their password when necessary.
Password
[ • • • • • • • • • • 👁 ]
The design should also consider password requirements such as minimum length, uppercase characters, numbers, and special characters when those requirements apply.
A password-strength indicator helps users understand whether the password they are creating is weak, moderate, or strong.
Password
[ • • • • • • • • ]
Strength: Strong
[████████████████]
Requirements:
✓ Minimum characters
✓ Uppercase letter
✓ Number
✓ Special character
The forgot-password flow should provide a clear recovery path without making the user search for help.
Forgot Password?
Enter your registered email address.

Remember your password? Login
Registration forms should validate information clearly and explain what needs to be corrected.
| Field | Example Validation |
|---|---|
| Name | Name cannot be empty |
| Enter a valid email address | |
| Phone | Enter a valid phone number |
| Password | Password does not meet requirements |
| Confirm Password | Passwords do not match |
| Terms | Accept terms before creating account |
Error messages should be specific, understandable, and placed close to the field that requires correction.
Email
[ john@example ]
Please enter a valid email address.
Avoid vague messages such as "Invalid input" when a more useful explanation can be provided.
A successful registration or validation state should provide immediate confirmation.
✓ Account created successfully!
Your account has been created.
You can now continue to your dashboard.
[ Continue ]
The login button should be visually prominent and clearly communicate the action.
Examples include Login, Sign In, or Continue. Use consistent wording throughout the product.
The primary registration action should clearly communicate account creation.
Common labels include Create Account, Sign Up, or Get Started.
Some applications provide authentication through third-party providers. Social login buttons should use recognizable labels and icons while maintaining consistent visual hierarchy.
[ G Continue with Google ]
[ Continue with Apple ]
[ f Continue with Facebook ]
Only include authentication methods that are actually supported by the product.
The Remember Me option can allow users to remain signed in according to the application's authentication policy.
[✓] Remember meThe option should be visually associated with the login process without competing with the primary Login button.
Registration screens may require users to acknowledge terms of service and privacy policies.
[ ] I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.Links should be visually distinguishable and should lead to the appropriate legal documents.
Reusable components make authentication designs easier to maintain. Common components include input fields, buttons, checkboxes, icons, form containers, alerts, and authentication cards.
Input Field
├── Default
├── Focus
├── Filled
├── Error
├── Success
└── Disabled
Button
├── Primary
├── Secondary
├── Hover
├── Pressed
├── Disabled
└── Loading
Figma variants can be used to manage different states of the same component.
| Component | Variants |
|---|---|
| Input | Default, Focus, Error, Success, Disabled |
| Button | Default, Hover, Pressed, Disabled, Loading |
| Checkbox | Unchecked, Checked, Disabled |
| Password | Hidden, Visible, Error |
Auto Layout helps authentication screens adapt when text length, button size, field content, or screen dimensions change.
Use Auto Layout for form groups, buttons, input fields, cards, social login sections, and vertical form layouts.
Consistent spacing improves readability and creates visual rhythm. A designer can establish a spacing system such as 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, and 32px.
| Spacing | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 4px | Small icon or text relationships |
| 8px | Label and field relationships |
| 12px | Compact internal spacing |
| 16px | Standard form spacing |
| 24px | Section spacing |
| 32px | Major content separation |
Typography should create a clear hierarchy between headings, descriptions, labels, input text, helper messages, links, and buttons.
| Text | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Page Heading | Communicates the main purpose |
| Description | Provides supporting information |
| Field Label | Identifies form fields |
| Input Text | Displays user-entered content |
| Helper Text | Provides instructions |
| Error Text | Communicates validation problems |
| Button Text | Communicates the primary action |
Authentication screens should use a consistent color system. Primary colors can highlight important actions, while error, success, warning, and neutral colors communicate different states.
| Color Role | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Primary | Main action such as Login or Create Account |
| Neutral | Backgrounds, borders, and secondary content |
| Error | Invalid input and failed actions |
| Success | Successful validation or account creation |
| Warning | Important cautionary information |
Login interfaces should work across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Desktop
[ Image / Branding ] [ Login Form ]
Tablet
[ Login Form ]
Mobile
[ Logo ]

[ Full Width Button ]
Use responsive constraints, Auto Layout, appropriate frame sizes, and flexible components to maintain usability at different screen widths.
Mobile registration forms should minimize unnecessary fields and maintain comfortable touch targets. Long forms can be divided into logical steps when appropriate.
Step 1
Personal Information
[ Name ]
[ Email ]
[ Next ]
Step 2
Security
[ Password ]
[ Confirm Password ]
[ Create Account ]
Multi-step registration can reduce the visual complexity of long forms by dividing information into smaller sections.

Authentication actions may require a loading state to communicate that the request is being processed.
[ Logging in... ]The loading state prevents confusion and helps users understand that their action has been received.
A disabled button can be used when required information has not been entered or when an action is temporarily unavailable.
Email: Empty
Password: Empty
[ Login ] ← Disabled
Disabled states should still be understandable and should not be confused with an error state.
Figma prototyping can connect login and registration screens to demonstrate the intended user flow.

Forgot Password → Password Recovery
↓
Sign Up → Registration
↓
Create Account → Verification

Verification Success → Dashboard
Small interactions can make an authentication interface feel responsive and polished.
Authentication screens should be designed so that users with different abilities can understand and operate the interface.
Designers should avoid exposing sensitive information unnecessarily. Password fields should be masked by default when appropriate, error messages should avoid revealing sensitive account information, and authentication flows should communicate security-related actions clearly.
A login interface can be designed for both light and dark themes. Create reusable color variables or styles so that backgrounds, text, borders, inputs, and buttons can switch consistently.
Light Theme
Background: Light
Surface: White
Text: Dark
Border: Neutral
Dark Theme
Background: Dark
Surface: Dark Gray
Text: Light
Border: Neutral
Design tokens can help maintain consistency across authentication screens.
| Token Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Color | Primary, Surface, Error, Success |
| Spacing | 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 |
| Radius | 4, 8, 12, 16 |
| Typography | Heading, Body, Label, Caption |
| Shadow | Card and modal elevation |
A reusable authentication design system can contain buttons, fields, checkboxes, radio controls, alerts, cards, links, icons, typography styles, colors, spacing, and responsive rules.
