Signing In with Google, Apple, or Microsoft

You can use your existing Google, Apple, or Microsoft account to sign in quickly and securely. This means one less password to remember!

Why Use Social Sign-In?

• Convenience: Use accounts you already have
• Security: Benefit from Google/Apple/Microsoft's security features
• Speed: Sign in with one click
• No new password: One less thing to remember

Available Sign-In Options

We support three trusted providers:

Provider	Best For
Google	Gmail and Google Workspace users
Apple	iPhone, iPad, and Mac users
Microsoft	Outlook and Microsoft 365 users

First Time: Creating an Account

If you don't have an account yet, social sign-in creates one for you:

With Google

1. Click Sign in with Google
2. Choose your Google account
3. Review what we'll access (just your email and name)
4. Click Allow
5. Your account is created automatically!

With Apple

1. Click Sign in with Apple
2. Enter your Apple ID credentials
3. Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your password
4. Choose whether to share your email or use a private relay
5. Your account is created!

Note: Apple offers a "Hide My Email" option that creates a private email address. This protects your real email while still allowing communication.

With Microsoft

1. Click Sign in with Microsoft
2. Enter your Microsoft email
3. Complete sign-in (may include 2FA)
4. Your account is created!

We never access your contacts, calendar, files, or any other data.

What We Don't Store

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use multiple social accounts?

Yes! You can connect Google, Apple, AND Microsoft to the same account. Use whichever is most convenient when signing in.

What if my social account is compromised?

If your Google/Apple/Microsoft account is compromised:

1. Secure that account first (change password, enable 2FA)
2. Log in to Equipoise with email/password
3. Disconnect the compromised social account
4. Reconnect once your social account is secure

Can I still use email and password?

Absolutely! Social sign-in is an addition, not a replacement. You can always sign in with your email and password.

Which should I choose?

• Google: If you use Gmail daily
• Apple: If you're in the Apple ecosystem (especially with Face ID/Touch ID)
• Microsoft: If you use Outlook or Microsoft 365
