Dashboard Authentication
Stay22 · New dashboard rollout (stealth release) · 2025
A refreshed login experience for the new Stay22 dashboard: value-forward hero, minimal form, and intentional light/dark theming aligned with the broader design-system migration.
Problem
As Stay22 grew and moved toward more enterprise-level partners, the old dashboard experience felt outdated. Authentication is the first touchpoint, so the login needed to feel modern and trustworthy while staying fast and focused.
Users
Stay22 affiliate partners accessing the partner dashboard (returning users and first-time invites).
Approach
- Designed a focused email/password form with clear hierarchy and low friction (forgot password + register path).
- Created a branded hero panel using dashboard-native performance motifs (revenue, transactions, commissions) to communicate value.
- Explored a light/dark theming direction as part of the migration from the legacy dashboard to the new design system.

OpenOutcomes
- Designed the authentication entry experience for the new dashboard rollout as part of a broader design-system migration.
- Created a branded hero system that communicates outcomes (revenue, commissions) without distracting from login.
- Currently in stealth release; iterations will expand pre-auth surfaces (e.g., SSO/magic links) in later phases.
