Google Unveils Revamped Sign-In Page
Google has unveiled its redesigned sign-in page, with some users recently reporting that a message indicating “a new look coming soon” has been appearing when they access their accounts.
Modest Design Shift
In terms of visual aesthetics, the new sign-in page closely resembles its precursor. The sequence of actions remains unchanged, though some elements have been subtly reimagined in line with Google’s Material Design aesthetic. Notably, the header is now aligned to the left instead of the center, optimizing display across a variety of screen sizes, including larger devices like the Google Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
User Access Options
Users are invited to sign in either using a password, an access key, or other authorization methods, although Google is yet to transition entirely to password-free options. Given the minor alterations to the design, it is expected that the updated look may garner less criticism from Google’s users, some of whom were unhappy with the overhauled look of Gmail. This time, both Workspace administrators and personal account holders are left without the option to opt-out. Google began deploying the new sign-in page design on February 21, with the rollout set to conclude on March 4, 2024. After this date, the former sign-in page will only be viewable to users employing outdated browsers.
