Log in to PLAYipp with your Microsoft account.

Now, as a PLAYipp user, you can easily log in to the platform using your existing Microsoft account instead of keeping track of separate login credentials. This can be activated directly through the platform's settings, making the transition quick and simple.

Using your Microsoft account for login reduces the number of passwords you need to remember and manage. It can also mean increased security, as many organizations already have established security protocols and two-factor authentication (2FA) linked to their Microsoft accounts.

How does it work?

For many organizations, it is straightforward to enable login with a Microsoft account. An administrator for your PLAYipp account just needs to activate the option under Administration > Organization Settings > Security in the PLAYipp Manager.

Once the feature is activated, you as a user will be able to select "Log in with Microsoft" on the PLAYipp login page. You will then be redirected to Microsoft's login page where you enter your usual Microsoft credentials. After successful authentication, you will be automatically sent back to PLAYipp, logged in and ready to use the platform.

Benefits of using a Microsoft account for login:

  • Very easy activation: just one setting that needs to be turned on.
  • Easier login: Use an account you are already familiar with.
  • Fewer passwords: Reduce the risk of forgotten passwords.
  • Increased security: Take advantage of your organization's existing security solutions for Microsoft accounts.

What do you need to do?

If you are interested in using your Microsoft account to log in to PLAYipp:

  1. Contact the administrator for PLAYipp within your organization. Ask if they can enable login with a Microsoft account.
  2. Refer them to check the settings under Administration > Organization Settings > Security in the PLAYipp Manager.
Note: In some cases, or for organizations with more complex IT environments, a more comprehensive configuration via SAML and Microsoft Azure AD may still be relevant or necessary for further customization and control. However, for many, the simpler activation is sufficient. You can read more about it here: SAML

The most common and robust method for integrating Microsoft accounts for login in PLAYipp is still through a SAML 2.0-based Single Sign-On (SSO) connection with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This is the connection that an administrator configures.
