## Items

### Email and password fields
The two standard authentication inputs: an email address field and a password field.

_Tip: Pre-filling the email field after a failed login so the user only has to re-enter the password is a small detail that reduces friction_

### Show/hide password toggle
A button alongside the password field that reveals or conceals what the user has typed

### Forgot password
A link that begins the password reset flow for users who cannot remember their credentials

### Remember me
A checkbox that persists the user's session across browser closures

### SSO or social login
Alternative authentication via a third-party identity provider (Google, Microsoft, GitHub) that bypasses the email/password form.

### Sign up link
A link to the account creation screen for users who do not yet have an account

### Error messages
Feedback shown when authentication fails, indicating what the user should try next
