  1. Don’t enable auto-complete for password fields. Having your 27 character password that contains at least two numbers, 3.5 capital letters and a llama, auto-corrected gets annoying very fast.
  2. Use Facebook Connect or Twitter OAuth. Nobody likes typing in that crazy long password. Chances are your users are already connected to Facebook and Twitter.
  3. Don’t prompt for login until necessary. Why would someone give up their e-mail address and password just to try out your app? Face it, it’s probably not that great. Let them poke around and if they hit a premium feature they like, your user will sign-up in a heart beat.
