Primary and Backup Sign-In

How Laureo locks each account to a primary sign-in method and how backup passwords fit in

One sign-in method per account

Each Laureo account uses one primary sign-in method — Google, Microsoft, or an email and password. The method you picked at signup is stored as the primary on your profile and is the only method that signs you into Laureo from then on.

This is a deliberate stance, not an arbitrary restriction. Email is the source of truth in a CRM: your inbox, sent items, calendar, contacts, and AI work all key off it. Pinning each account to a single email source keeps that mapping clean.

Backup passwords

If your primary method is Google or Microsoft, you can add a backup password as a fallback. Adding a backup password requires you to enable two-factor authentication first. This prevents someone with brief inbox access from quietly bypassing your primary provider's protections.

Use Settings → Security → Sign-in methods to start the backup-password flow.

Why two-factor authentication first?
Without 2FA, an attacker who briefly sees your inbox could use the password-reset flow to add a backup password. With 2FA, that path requires a second factor you keep on your phone.

Changing your sign-in method

You cannot change your own primary provider. If your employer migrates from one provider to another, an administrator can start a migration on your behalf — see Changing Your Sign-In Method.
