Users can now choose between **Google Sign-In or an email-based login.** Previously, our login system relied on usernames, passwords, and 2FA, but for those with **Google-linked emails, we recommend transitioning to Google Sign-In** . This option simplifies the process by linking all your dashboard accounts under one Google login, offering a faster and more secure experience. ## **Simplified Login** * **[1.1 Google Sign-In](https://juspay.io/sea/docs/dashboard-sea/docs/merchant-login--security/authentication-setup#1.1Google-Sign-In)** **:** If your registered email is a Google account (@[gmail.com](http://gmail.com) or Google Workspace), this is the highly recommended option. It links all your Juspay dashboard accounts under a single, secure Google login, eliminating the need for a separate password and 2FA app. * **[1.2 Email-Based Login](https://juspay.io/sea/docs/dashboard-sea/docs/merchant-login--security/authentication-setup#1.2-Email-Based-Login)** **:** For non-Google emails, you can upgrade your account to an email-based login. This modernizes the authentication process for faster and more secure access. --- ### 1.1 Google Sign-In We have introduced two **new** streamlined login options for enhanced security and convenience. Users can now choose between **Google Sign-In or an email-based login.** Previously, our login system relied on usernames, passwords, and 2FA, but for those with **Google-linked emails, we recommend transitioning to Google Sign-In** . This option simplifies the process by linking all your dashboard accounts under one Google login, offering a faster and more secure experience. For those who prefer not to use Google Sign-In, our email-based login still provides robust security with password and 2FA protection. **Key benefits** : * **No more managing multiple usernames, passwords, or separate 2FA** for each account. * A single **Google login** and **2FA** gives you access to all your accounts, making login faster, easier, and more secure. * **Enhanced convenience** and **best-in-class security** —your login experience is now as simple as it gets! * If you are a user with multiple accounts, you can easily switch between merchants from the "My profile section". This allows seamless access to different merchant views. ![Image](https://dth95m2xtyv8v.cloudfront.net/tesseract/assets/dashboard/Screenshot%202024-09-12%20at%2019.49.23.png) *Multiple Accounts Switch* ![Image](https://dth95m2xtyv8v.cloudfront.net/tesseract/assets/dashboard/Upcoming%20(2).png) **Note** **:** Once you are migrated you **cannot** **use** **username** **based** **login** any longer #### Google Sign-in Migration 1. **Login** to the dashboard with your existing set of credentials 2.
