I believe I know the answer to that question. I am curious to see other answers advocated by various people.

In the last three months or so, I have come to have a newfound happiness and purpose in life. The way newcomers vs. experienced Opera Forum users respond to the comments regarding the signup process being confusing shows the magnitude of the work in front of the human race is daunting. At least now, we have a chance to save ourselves.

There is a way the Opera browser could contribute even more than it has already. The good news is, no open mind required.

*The new form really a bit confusing but didn't bother me much. What bothered me is that the same account is used for Opera forum and Opera itself. So when I log in on forum I automatically will be signed in Opera and I need to sign out. I'd prefer two separate accounts

@whisperer said in Difficult in creating a new account:

you have to click a Login button,

You mean the opera account popup on the address bar?
If yes, I agree. There should be a direct way to login using the popup instead of redirecting to web page. It should redirect only if someone wishes to create new account.

I mean things like these:

If the user wants to create an account, he has to click Login and then there is no hint for creating an account.

There is no button or link for creating an account, but you have to use the Login button for that.

There's 'continue' button by default and depending on whether email exists or not on next step the button will be transformed to 'sign in' or 'create account.

But I agree that it'd be more clear if there were two separate forms.

I meant in order to get to this dialog you have to click a Login button, there is no button or link for creating an account.

Best regards,

... and after I enter a new email for a new account, instead of registering I am getting the wrong password, ...

That means an account with that email address already exists. Check for yourself by trying something like fkjlksdjfkl23l23ff832ssd32@example.com.

@whisperer Where's is the confusion? It clearly asks you to provide an email address.

Biased on it, the page will redirect you to the login page or to the create an account page.

It isn't clear at all that the same dialog for logging in, is also meant for creating an account.

There is no button or link for creating an account, but you have to use the Login button for that. Then an email address is asked and still no mention of creating an account. Only after entering an email address to register an account, it becomes clear that this is how you can register.

Biased on it, the page will redirect you to the login page or to the create an account page.

@Formingus-0 don't understand your problem. If you already registered, it'll ask you to enter your password. If your email is not registered you'll be prompted to enter and confirm new password.

But I can understand the confusion. It is not clear and downright confusing that in order to create an account you must first try to log in using your unregistered email address.
