Don't
🚩 Avoid using tooltips for vital information:
E.g. password requirements accessed via a mouse hover.
🚩 Avoid repetitive, unnecessary and obvious button functions:
E.g.: "Login. This button logs in". It doesn't add any additional information to the user beyond what is already evident from the context.
