Better WordPress.com account management and lost password UX #405
Description
I propose a change to how we handle WordPress.com accounts and listing blogs to improve the "lot wpcom password" experience and managing multiple WPcom blogs in general.
Right now it's confusing that if the app loses your password, it asks you to re-enter it on one of the WPcom blog's Edit Blog screen. This is confusing for many reasons..
-It takes your first blog, not by alphabetical order but by creation date (may be a blog you rarely use, that's the case for me)
-It's confusing to update the credentials for what seems to be one blog only.. "Do I have to re-enter my credentials for ALL the .com blogs I have in the app??"
-The error message doesn't relate to a specific blog, just your account:
"Couldn't Connect: The username or password stored in the app may be out of date. Please re-enter your password in the settings and try again".
It would make more sense if you were taken to a dedicated "Edit WordPress.com Account" screen or similar in Settings.
So here's what I'm proposing (see attached wireframe for more):
- A new "WordPress.com" screen to handle account details (can be expanded to have things like Display Name, primary blog setting, Gravatar, etc in the future
- WordPress.com screen has Sign Out button (forgot to add this in the wireframe)
- Settings screen's WordPress.com section is changed to Manage Account > under the username
- All WPcom Edit Blog screens have username/pass removed, instead reference the WordPress.com account screen to edit those.
