AccountSetup needs to be optimised for slow networks

Open wmontwe opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

While testing the AccountSetup flow, I noticed that under slow network conditions there is a chance that you could get stuck or in an undesired state. That could prevent a user from successfully completing the account setup.

AutoDiscovery:

  • config loading should be cancellable to not have to wait until connection timeout is triggered.
  • timeout inconsistent -> 8s, 10s, 20s, 30s
  • while loading next button does nothing -> should cancel ongoing loading and enter manual flow, could be renamed to cancel
  • pressing back while config is loaded leaves the screen -> back to email entry?

Validation server settings:

  • takes very long before a timeout error is shown, in contrast to AutoDiscovery: 3:30 min vs 0:30min
