Credential Recovery
A Utility Flow into a Trust-Building Experience
This project focused on redesigning the digital recovery process for both username and password across the bank’s platforms
Previously, customers could only recover one of these credentials digitally, and if both were forgotten, they were forced to visit a physical branch — a major gap in a digital-first experience. The new recovery flow was designed to be fully responsive, ensuring accessibility across desktop and mobile. It was also created entirely within the bank’s design system, ensuring consistency, compliance, and a cohesive visual language.
Challenge
The key challenge was to enable customers to recover both their username and password in a single, streamlined process. This needed to be done while keeping the flow intuitive and user-friendly, despite inherent complexity. Additionally, strict regulatory and security constraints prohibited sending recovered credentials by email or text message. Another part of the challenge was guiding users through the process of not only resetting their password but also securely saving their username for future use.
Solution
The redesigned flow introduced a secure and user-centered approach:
Once the customer successfully authenticated, their username was immediately retrieved and displayed, removing the need to memorize it. The user was then guided to create a new password.
On the final screen, clear instructions were provided on how to copy and save the username for future use.
This approach created a first moment of delight, where users could quickly regain access without external assistance.
While the process may appear simple, it required careful design decisions to balance security, compliance, and usability. The end result was a responsive, design-system-based flow that reduced dependency on branch visits, increased efficiency, and built greater trust in the platform.
