# Login methods

> Configure how teammates sign in to Sayless, verify your domain, and restrict access by SSO, email domain, or supported login providers.

Login methods determine how people access your workspace.

## Overview

Admins use security settings to manage authentication and domain-based access controls.

Login method changes affect how teammates access the workspace. Coordinate changes before enforcing restrictions.

Go to [Settings > Security](https://joinsayless.com/\{workspace}/settings/security).

| Access control      | Use it for                            |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Google login        | Let members authenticate with Google. |
| Domain verification | Prove ownership of a domain.          |
| Allowed domains     | Restrict access to approved domains.  |
| Connected accounts  | Attach external identities to users.  |

## Authentication settings

Authentication settings protect workspace access.

### Google login

Google login lets members authenticate with a Google account when enabled.

This is useful when your organization already uses Google identity for work accounts.

### Connected accounts

Connected accounts attach external identities to a user account.

Connected accounts can also power app integrations, but they are not the same as workspace-level integration settings.

### Domain verification

Domain verification helps prove that your organization owns a domain.

Domain verification may be required before enforcing domain-based access rules.

## Access restrictions

Access restrictions help control who can join or authenticate.

### Allowed domains

Allowed domains limit access to approved company domains.

Use allowed domains carefully. If a teammate uses a different email domain, they may be blocked from joining or signing in.

### Admin-only settings

Security and login method changes are admin-level settings.

Non-admins should contact a workspace admin when they cannot access login method settings.

> Test domain and login changes with an admin account before enforcing restrictions broadly.
