## Items

### Third party sign-up
Account creation through an existing Apple, Google or social media account, removing the need to set a password

### Required fields
The minimum information needed to create an account (typically email and password, if not social auth)

_Tip: Every additional field reduces completion rate_

### Password strength
Visual feedback showing how secure the chosen password is as the user types

_Tip: Showing requirements inline (not only on a submission error) allows users to meet them before submitting_

### Terms and privacy
The acknowledgement that the user accepts the terms of service and privacy policy before creating an account

### Email verification
The step asking users to confirm their email address after the account has been created

_Tip: It's common to allow the user access to the product before confirming, so they are not blocked and drop off_

### Welcome state
The screen shown immediately after account creation, confirming success and pointing toward the first action

### Already have an account
A link for returning users who arrived at the sign-up screen instead of login

### Marketing opt-in (if applicable)
A separate, explicit consent field for users willing to receive marketing emails
