IDN Account: One Login to Rule Them All

Role UI Designer

Project Unified Account System

Goal Create a centralized account system that works seamlessly across all IDN Media portals.

Result By centralizing the account system, we made life a whole lot easier for our users. One login now unlocks all IDN Media portals, providing a smoother, smarter experience for everyone.


Background

IDN Media isn’t just one platform—it’s an entire ecosystem with multiple media portals like IDN Times, Popbela, Popmama, and Yummy. The problem? Each portal had its own account system, so users had to juggle multiple logins. Not ideal, right? Our mission was clear: Create one account to access them all.

Challenges & Limitations

This wasn’t just a visual design project. The real complexity was under the hood—designing a smooth migration flow and handling tricky cases like account duplication. Here are some of the questions we had to tackle:

User Flow x System Flow

As the designer, I collaborated closely with our Product Manager and Engineers to create the entire end-to-end flow for this migration. And let me tell you, my engineering background came in handy. Understanding the system behind the scenes made the process not only challenging but also incredibly rewarding.
