Prompt pattern

Let visitors manage their own details

A simple account area gives returning visitors a secure place to view and update their information.

Fills the feature part of a prompt.

Offer sign in and account creation with email, password, and a clearly labelled reset option. After sign in, show the visitor their name, the 3 to 5 most useful account actions, and a visible sign-out control. Do not require an account before a visitor can browse, and explain why any personal detail is needed.

Use this feature pattern when it changes the result the agent should produce. It provides one concrete direction without deciding unrelated parts of the website.
