Summary

Employees can log in to Gingr in three ways: email and password, single sign-on (SSO), or Quick Login. This article explains each method, its security requirements, and how to use Quick Login to switch between accounts.

Why Individual Logins Matter

Each staff member should have their own user account and log in whenever they work in the app.

This lets Gingr:

• Track individual activity through the History page.
• Apply custom User Permissions to control access.
• Keep accurate audit trails for security and accountability.

You can see the History page in your app and set different User Permissions for each user.

Sign-In Options

Gingr supports these sign-in methods:

1. Email and password login: Needs a strong password that meets Gingr's security standards.
2. Single sign-on (SSO): Log in with Google, Microsoft, or YubiKey authentication.
3. Quick Login: Switch between accounts without fully logging out.

Important: Email-based logins must have a strong password that is updated at least once every 90 days. Passwords must meet Gingr's complexity rules: at least 12 characters, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a special character. SSO logins skip Gingr's password rules, because the SSO provider (Google, Microsoft, or YubiKey administrator) manages password security and reset schedules. Gingr's password and login security measures protect sensitive business and customer data.

Using Quick Login

Quick Login lets you switch between accounts without fully logging out. It helps on shared devices, or when you switch between accounts during a shift.

To set up Quick Login:

1. Turn on user permissions for Google, Microsoft, or YubiKey SSO in Groups settings.
2. Assign YubiKeys, if you use that method.
3. Go to Admin » Employees » User Account Settings.
4. Turn on the Require Alternate Authentication Login Method toggle. This requires Quick Login through SSO and blocks email and password login.
