π° The methods Appointedd offers
1. Email address and password
While you have other options now, using an email and password to log into your Appointedd account is still available of course.
2. Social sign-on and sign up
This allows you to utilise your existing Facebook or Google account to sign up and log into Appointedd. This is a form of single sign-on (SSO) as it allows you to be automatically logged into Appointedd with your Facebook or Google details without having to enter Appointedd specific details (such as email and password).
3. Multi-factor authentication
MFA works by requiring additional verification information in the form of a one-time Verification code, in addition to your usual email and password. You receive a one-time Verification code via your chosen application every time you log into your Appointedd account.
4. Single Sign-on with SAML
SSO refers to single sign-on and it's a simple and secure way for users to access Appointedd.
With SSO enabled, users can sign in with their existing company credentials without having to use Appointedd specific ones. This eliminates weak passwords and reduces the need to remember many different email and password combinations.
