Google teases new design for “Sign in with Google” pages on web and mobile،

Remember that simple “Sign in with Google” option you see all over the internet? It saves you a lot of time by letting you use your Google account to sign in to a variety of apps, websites, and services, eliminating the need to create individual accounts for each site you sign in to. This helpful login page appears to be undergoing a minor change.

As reported Android Center, Google is currently informing users that a redesign is in the works. This is done by placing a simple banner at the top of Google's login pages that reads: “A new look is coming soon. Google is updating the login page with a more modern appearance.”

We haven't yet seen what this new “modern look” is supposed to look like, given that Google hasn't released any screenshots yet, but we can make some educated guesses about it. For example, as others have already done, we can assume that this redesign would likely fit into Google's “Material You” design language, which is already used in the ecosystem. This would make perfect sense and add a touch of color and consistency to the web.

Although it is almost certain that Google's Material Design philosophy will be integrated into the redesign, the more interesting question is not the “how” but the “why” it is done. Of course, clean lines, bright colors, and easy-to-navigate interfaces can be reason enough to apply a visual refresh on login pages. However, there is another consideration as to why this might be in the works.

Google's push for password alternatives

It's no surprise that Google has been working to encourage the use of passwords as an alternative to using passwords for some time now. Make significant changes, such as making passkeys the default sign-in method for personal and workspace accounts, as well as becoming a driving force for expanding passkey support on the Web by recruiting more partners, should not be taken lightly.

It's entirely possible that this redesign is another way that Google plans to emphasize the use of passwords even more. Google's login pages already prompt users to use them, but they are currently presented as an afterthought to the default login method.

It's important to note that at this point, this is all speculation. We have no clear indication of Google's plans on this, but given the current prominence of the redesign notice on login pages, we probably won't have to wait long to find out.
