You open a tool for a quick daily task…
and it asks you to create an account.
Do you continue or close the tab?
What makes you decide?
For me, I usually close the tab unless the tool clearly explains why signup is needed.If it’s just a one-off task, extra friction feels unnecessary.
Curious how others feel.

Curious to hear different perspectives — especially from people who build tools.
When do you think signup is justified, and when does it become friction?
