Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an interactive frontend prototype using the existing project stack and explicitly labeled demo data for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Sign-In and Recovery.

Required content and structure

Design sign-in, recovery request, sent confirmation and invalid-link states.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: light neutral canvas, graphite text, cobalt accent and precise hairline separators; dense but legible hierarchy. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Define sign-in inputs, recovery states and approved authentication messages. Use fictional credentials and specify the behavior of expired or invalid recovery links.

Layout and behavior

Separate entering credentials, requesting recovery and confirming that a request was received. Make the return to sign-in clear while avoiding messages that reveal whether an account exists.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Avoid exposing account existence and do not collect real credentials in a demo.
  • Test invalid input, a failed request and an expired link.
  • A prototype should demonstrate states without collecting real passwords or pretending to authenticate a real account.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Sign-In and Recovery. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Design sign-in, recovery request, sent confirmation and invalid-link states. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Separate entering credentials, requesting recovery and confirming that a request was received. Make the return to sign-in clear while avoiding messages that reveal whether an account exists.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Design sign-in, recovery request, sent confirmation and invalid-link states. Avoid exposing account existence and do not collect real credentials in a demo. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write a Sign-In and Recovery Design Prompt

Use this sign-in and recovery design prompt to design sign-in, recovery request, sent confirmation and invalid-link states.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Explain Recovery Without Exposing Accounts

A sign-in recovery flow needs clear next steps while avoiding confirmation that a particular account exists.

AI-generated visual concept for sign-in and recovery
Sign-In and Recovery — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Invalid or expired links should offer a safe way to restart. Separate entering credentials, requesting recovery and confirming that a request was received. Make the return to sign-in clear while avoiding messages that reveal whether an account exists.

From the Prompt

Separate entering credentials, requesting recovery and confirming that a request was received.

Make It Your Own

Design sign-in, recovery request, neutral sent confirmation and invalid-link states using dummy credentials. Keep the recovery response consistent regardless of whether an account exists.

Prepare the Sign-In and Recovery Content

The recovery form asks for an email address; define validation without exposing whether an account exists.

Password-recovery email form in the Sign-In and Recovery reference concept
Password-recovery email form.

Define sign-in inputs, recovery states and approved authentication messages. Use fictional credentials and specify the behavior of expired or invalid recovery links.

From the Prompt

Design sign-in, recovery request, sent confirmation and invalid-link states.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this sign-in and recovery. Define sign-in inputs, recovery states and approved authentication messages. Use fictional credentials and specify the behavior of expired or invalid recovery links. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Use an Expired Link

The success copy is conditional, while an invalid link offers a new request; specify expiry, retry and safe account-discovery behavior.

Neutral sent-message and invalid-link recovery states in the Sign-In and Recovery reference concept
Neutral sent-message and invalid-link recovery states.

Explain that the link cannot be used and offer a new request. Do not reveal account existence or keep a real password in the demonstration. Test invalid input, a failed request and an expired link. A prototype should demonstrate states without collecting real passwords or pretending to authenticate a real account.

From the Prompt

Avoid exposing account existence and do not collect real credentials in a demo.

Make It Your Own

Review the sign-in and recovery against this requirement: Avoid exposing account existence and do not collect real credentials in a demo. Test invalid input, a failed request and an expired link. A prototype should demonstrate states without collecting real passwords or pretending to authenticate a real account. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Sign-In and Recovery Result

A convincing screen is not a working backend. Test validation, permissions, persistence and failure behavior separately before connecting real data.

  • Test invalid input, a failed request and an expired link. A prototype should demonstrate states without collecting real passwords or pretending to authenticate a real account.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current sign-in and recovery. Test invalid input, a failed request and an expired link. A prototype should demonstrate states without collecting real passwords or pretending to authenticate a real account. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
