Google Changes Its Sign-in Page After 6 Years, and It’s Underwhelming
Feb. 22, 2024Google ismakingvisual changes to its sign-in and sign-up pages after almost six years. The search giant says the new look is more modern and in line with Google’sMaterial Design 3(alsocalled Material You) philosophy. You will start seeing the newly-designed Google sign-in page in the next two weeks, as the company is doing a gradual rollout of the updated look. The new interface will be visible across the web and mobile devices.
The Evolution of Google’s Sign-in Page
First, you enter your username and on the next screen, you enter your password. The same login flow continues even today, and the updated interface also follows the same sign-in process. Keep in mind thatGoogle has not made any functionality changeswith this visual update, so all the buttons and menus that you were accustomed to will be available.
In our testing, we are yet to come across the new Google login page design, but I already have some thoughts. Google has been teasing this“more modern look and feel”for the past two-odd weeks, so the anticipation was high. However, this new design is only a minor refresh with Material Design 3 elements and not much else. It’s underwhelming and unimpressive, to say the least.
That said, do not fall forphishing attacks,and don’t enter your Google username and password on any webpage that looks similar to Google’s new sign-in page. So what do you think about the new visual change? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
