      We have a 302 redirection on some of our pages which involved login/account pages. So, some pages are 302 (temporarily) redirected to the login pages which is common especially in e-commerce sites (see screenshot). For SEO practices, what would be best to address this (if this an issue)?

      a. Block the login/account pages using robots.txt?

      b. Block the login/account pages using meta noindex?

      c. Leave them as is since it's a non-issue.

      d. Other recommendations, please specify in the answers..

      Thanks!

        Hi Jay,

        Set login/account pages to not be indexed.
        Both way are equaly, it depends on how easy is for you any or other way.
        Personally I prefer robots.txt, just one archive and not messing with page code.

        Best luck.
        GR.
