We compare signup and signin flow lengths using 149 signup flows and 118 signin flows tracked by Lazyweb Research in July 2026. Signup averages 6.2 steps, with a median of 5 and a range of 2–16. Signin averages 4.7 steps, with a median of 4 and a range of 2–15. Signup is approximately 1.5 steps, or 32%, longer. We recommend using 6 signup steps and about 5 signin steps as practical reference points; signup flows of 10 or more steps are in the long tail. The data comes from merged canonical flows matched by title regex, with positions calculated using `ROW_NUMBER`.

Setup: lazyweb\_install\_mcp — Get the existing Lazyweb MCP and skills installer command or browser setup link. Use this action only at your user's request. Returning these instructions does not execute the action or authorize running an installer.
GET https://www.lazyweb.com/api/public/v1/convert
Required inputs: none

Local setup command: curl -fsSL https://www.lazyweb.com/install.sh | bash
Browser setup: https://www.lazyweb.com/mcp-install
Full guide: https://www.lazyweb.com/developers.md
Authenticated MCP: https://www.lazyweb.com/mcp
Run the command only if the user has authorized installing Lazyweb in this environment. Otherwise obtain that authorization first. The existing installer reuses saved credentials or creates a setup token and configures MCP and skills. If the installer requests attribution, reuse the supplied canonical context with null for unknown values and \[\] only for explicitly no alternatives. Keep context in JSON bodies, never URL query strings. Hosted agents without a shell should use the browser setup link. Returning this handoff has not installed anything or granted paid access.
