Let your team log in with Google, Microsoft, username/password, or Enterprise SSO — customize login options for flexibility and security.

How to manage login methods

To customize login methods for your workspace:

  1. Go to Settings → Authentication security

  2. In the Login methods section, check the boxes to allow:

    • Email and password

    • Google and Microsoft

  3. Click Save settings to apply your changes

💡 You can allow one or both options. Users will see all login methods on the login screen, but if they try to use a method that isn't allowed for them, they'll see a message with details about which methods are supported.

Login method options

Method

Description

Username and password

Traditional login with email + password

Google and Microsoft

Log in using Google or Microsoft OAuth

Enterprise SSO

Connected with your organization’s IDP.

💡You can allow multiple methods, but only one can be enforced at a time.

Login method enforcement

  • Allowing multiple methods lets users choose how they log in.

  • To enforce a specific method, allow only that method and uncheck the others.

  • If Enterprise SSO is enabled and enforced in the SSO section, it overrides all other login methods.

  • Enforced login methods apply to all users unless individually overridden.

⚠️ If SSO is enforced, users must log in through your Identity Provider (IdP). All other login options will be hidden.

Per-user settings

You can override the default workspace login method for individual users.

To update login methods for a specific user:

  1. Go to Users

  2. Select the user

  3. Update their login method from the dropdown

✅ This is useful when testing new SSO setups or handling special access needs.

FAQ

What happens if I remove a login method that users were using?

They won’t be able to log in unless they’re assigned a valid alternative method.

Can I restrict login methods based on roles or groups?

Not yet — only per-user overrides are supported right now

What if a user belongs to multiple workspaces with different login settings?

The user can only log in using the method(s) allowed by all of their workspaces. For example, if Workspace A allows Google, Microsoft, and password login — but Workspace B allows only Google and Microsoft — the user will only be able to log in with Google or Microsoft.
