About this interaction overview diagram

Following is an interaction overview diagram showing the steps involved in a login system. Through visual representation with the help of a diagram, it illustrates the various steps involved and their order of execution inside the login system.

A login system is crucial to ensure that only authorized individuals access the system. It acts as a security measure to prevent any unauthorized individual or group of individuals from entering the system.

Here the various steps include requesting for login, choosing an option or way to log in, and logging success or failure for the user. All of these step’s work in a coordinated way to provide the user access to the system.

Here in the following interaction overview diagram, the user initiates the process by requesting to log into the system. The system then displays various options for the user to choose from. The user can either log in via Facebook, Google, or by the username registered on the application.

After the user chooses the option, the system validates the credentials of the user. If the credentials are correct, the user successfully logs into the system. If not, the user is unable to log in and is reverted to the choose option step.
