Login¶
Options¶
Requiring users to login to use a service is a common practice that is implemented by many online services and applications. While it can be seen as an inconvenience to some users, there are several reasons why login is necessary such as Security, Personalization, Quality Assurance and Payment and Subscriptions.
We want to make the experience to be as quick and simple as possible by offering multiple login options. This practice is becoming increasingly popular as more and more services move online. These options provide users with a choice of authentication methods and allow them to use their preferred identity providers to access multiple services.
Choosing your login method
Choose the login option your organization is most comfortable with. Pricing is not affected based on the option you choose. It's a matter of convenience and usually decided by existing authentication mechanisms already existing in your organization. Keep in mind that if you change your mind later on, you will have to updated permissions to resources. We are happy to assist you as necessary.
Microsoft Office 365 / Azure / Entra ID¶
Entra ID is a cloud-based identity and access management solution provided by Microsoft that provides businesses with a range of benefits. It provides businesses with a secure way to manage user identities and access to resources. It includes features such as multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and role-based access control, which can help to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data. This type of login can provide a more convenient and streamlined experience for users, as they do not need to create a new account or remember a new set of login credentials and is generally managed and secured by the organization providing the option such as a business or a education entity.
Local & Social Accounts¶
Local account and social logins are two common login options for online services and applications. A local account login requires users to create a username and password. Immersive Fusion offers this functionality free of charge for customers. This type of login provides a high level of security and control for users but they are responsible for managing their own login credentials. However, it can also be inconvenient for users, as they need to remember multiple usernames and passwords for different services.
A social login allows users to access a service or application using their social media credentials, such as their GitHub account. This type of login can provide a more convenient and streamlined experience for users, as they do not need to create a new account or remember a new set of login credentials. However, it can also raise security and privacy concerns, as users may be sharing personal information with the service or application.
