Fixing the login journey customers complained about most

successful password resets before lockout

The situation

Login was one of the biggest sources of negative customer feedback at E.ON Next, and the existing monitoring couldn't show why.

The problem

  • The monitoring tool had capped data and couldn't trace a problem across systems.
  • Nobody could see where in the journey customers were getting stuck.

What I did

  • Made the case for New Relic, secured backing from the Head of Engineering, and was the first team in the company to onboard it.
  • Set up layered dashboards across the website and both app codebases, and found missing traces so teams could see where journeys failed.
  • Found clear patterns (rate-limit errors, repeated wrong passwords, unnecessary lockouts) and led the fix across the whole flow, not just the screens.
Fix what the data shows, not what the loudest opinion says.
