What can we do to make a mobile app better? What subsidiary features are worth providing for our users? I have some ideas. You might, too. So, let’s compare our notes. Without any prescriptions attached, here are seven features I believe can palpably improve a user’s experience with a mobile app.

    Display one form field at a time for an economical layout

    Preferably not when asking for username and password, since that messes with password manager autofill.

      And yet more sites do it, even on desktop. As far as I can tell, most of them are also doing it in a way that breaks security by validating the username before asking for the password.

      Not always, i think. There are some SSO solutions that behave like this, and password gets filled in fine.

        Yeah, it’s possible to get it to work with password managers. I believe it has to do with ensuring the password field still exists on the page when the username is shown.
