## Overview
An isolated white login panel with three stacked provider choices, an OR rule, labeled email/password fields, recovery link and blue full-width login button.
Source: https://mail.missiveapp.com/#login. Captured 2026-10-07T06:06:42.162434+00:00. This is an observed reference, not an official brand specification.
## Colors
Observed roles: primary: #2E3034; surface: #FFFFFF; accent: #2266ED; muted: #585F66. Values are measured source colors and inspected surfaces. Do not apply the accent indiscriminately to secondary copy or disabled controls.
## Typography
The primary sampled text uses -apple-system at 24px / 33.6px, weight 500, with a measured desktop width of 372.00px. Its corresponding mobile sample is 24px / 33.6px across 342.00px. Body and control tokens above come from this reference's own computed styles; `normal` leading is omitted from YAML rather than guessed.
## Layout
Use a centered brand tile, compact login heading and business-inbox subtitle. Keep Google, Apple and SSO actions as a consistent stack above the email alternative. Right-align password recovery beneath the password field, then give the blue Log in action full width and place account creation below it.
The selected root's measured raster is 420×751px on desktop and 390×751px on mobile. The screenshot contains only `div:has(> form:has(#login-email))`.
Responsive evidence: The desktop panel is 420px wide and reduces to 390px with 24px side padding on mobile. Title and subtitle retain their sizes; controls narrow rather than changing their order. The entire mobile panel fits the captured 751px component height.
## Elevation & Depth
The white panel has no heavy outer card shadow. Hairline input and social-button borders create enough grouping; blue is reserved for the submit action and account/recovery links. Exact hover elevation, easing and shadow blur values were not measured.
## Shapes
A sampled control in this reference has radius 8px and padding 12px 24px. Those measurements belong to that sample, not every container. Preserve the visible geometry and spacing hierarchy; any additional spacing scale would be an implementation estimate.
## Components
Fields are empty and password dots are placeholder text. Password reveal, recovery, SSO, provider redirects and login submission were not exercised. This crop excludes the unrelated testimonial/product column from the full auth page.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do preserve the documented content order, visual hierarchy and measured responsive changes.
- Do retain source field labels, attribution and clear differences between primary, secondary and disabled controls.
- Do treat visible prices, statistics and quotations as dated source content.
- Don't fabricate customer evidence, expanded states, errors or successful form submissions.
- Don't infer unobserved interactions, dark mode, additional breakpoints or exact motion timings.
