I signed up when it was first announced and gave the impression that EVERYONE would have access. It has been almost 2 years since this announcement and the NON members still do not have a working login. It has been a lot of hype and no production. There are many family research programs that now have the tools, but not access, it has been a waste of my time trying to use Legacy as it is designed to interface with Family Search. A real let down by Legacy and LDS church.
I have found that most of the IGI are based on the membership of the church submitting their family data that was "approved" by the local Ward Clerk. My father was this person for while. They were just a rubber stamp, as a GOOD Mormon would not provide false information. It was the word from SL that all submittals were to be approved as the information was needed good or bad. After digging into what my mother had, and had submitted it was a nightmare to clean and figure out where she was going with here data. None of her data was on a computer but it is ALL at Family Search and is still a mess. She could not even spell correctly her own surname of her line.

It's much like the old IGI and best used for "clues", IMHO. If you go to new.FamiliySearch.org, you can sign up to get on the list for a non-member log-in. The only thing you'll not see once you get your log-in is the ordinance data for church members. The www.FamilySearch.org site is the one with all the really good stuff like scans and transcriptions!
