As teased, Google is rolling out a redesign of account sign-in pages across all its services to bring them into compliance with Exhibit 3.
Updated on 2/24: Three days after the announcement, I only encountered the new sign-in page once. You can see what a responsive mobile design looks like with the blue/gray background and two-column layout removed. Some elements are also now left aligned instead of centered.
The new sign-in page has an improved layout for all screen types, including large and wide screens. The sign-in page scales to fit your screen size.
Google also mentions ways to:
- “You can find this information when you sign in to Google apps or Google services in a browser like Chrome.”
- “If you are using an older version of your browser, you may see an outdated sign-in page.”
Original 2/21: This “more modern look” is for Google Account login and sign-up pages. Google says this is “consistent with Material Design in our other products.”
Instead of centering the page on the desktop, Google places the email/phone text field on the right and the Google logo and other information on the left.
A pill-shaped button is used for “Next,” but all other buttons are directly placed text. The background of the inner rectangle is white, while the outside is slightly darker (gray with a bluish tint reflecting the default Material 3 accent color).
At the bottom you’ll see a language switcher, help, privacy, and terms.
This could also come to mobile, possibly centered and similar to the current design.
Google says this is “strictly a cosmetic change; there is no functionality impact or change.”
Google is rolling out this sign-in redesign starting today and making it fully available to all personal Google Accounts and Workspace customers in the coming weeks.
