Registration and login
Account & security — Exodus Wallet
Why strong login and registration matter
Your Exodus account is the gateway to managing cryptocurrencies, private keys, and transaction history. A well-designed registration and login flow reduces mistakes, prevents account takeovers, and makes recovery predictable when you upgrade devices. Below you'll find guidance, sample UX, and the inline form for quick testing.
Principles for account & security
Simple, explicit steps
Break registration into bite-sized, labelled steps so users know what to expect and can complete the process without guessing.
Privacy by default
Collect only necessary information. Offer optional telemetry and make privacy choices visible during setup.
Clear backup & recovery
Explain seed phrases, backups, and local encryption clearly — and enforce backups before allowing high-value actions.
Progressive security
Enable stronger protections (2FA, hardware wallet pairing) at logical moments — not all at once.
Registration design notes
Use contextual help near fields (tooltips, microcopy) and a password strength meter. When requesting an email, state how it will be used (recovery, receipts) and avoid forcing it for on-device-only wallets unless necessary.
Login considerations
Allow biometric unlock and local session tokens to reduce friction. When supporting cloud-backed accounts, clearly separate local-only wallets from cloud-synced accounts and show the consequences of each choice.
