What is the Connected Accounts page?
The Connected Accounts page (found under Sidebar → Cloud services → Social Connect) is your personal hub for linking external identity providers and biometric passkeys to your OpenStudio account. Once a provider is linked, you can sign in with a single click — no password required.
Available providers
| Provider | Type | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth 2.0 | Personal Gmail or Google Workspace accounts | |
| OAuth 2.0 | Professional identity login | |
| Microsoft | OAuth 2.0 | Outlook / Hotmail (personal) or Office 365 / Azure AD (work & school) |
| Passkey | WebAuthn / FIDO2 | Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello — no external account needed |
Note: Facebook connections are in legacy mode. New Facebook links are no longer available; existing ones can still be used to sign in or unlinked.
How sign-in works after linking
Once a provider is connected, the login page displays a matching button (e.g., Continue with Google). Clicking it redirects you to the provider for a token exchange — you are logged in instantly without entering your OpenStudio password.
Multiple providers on one account
You can link all providers simultaneously. Each one works independently. If one provider is unavailable (e.g., a corporate SSO outage), you can still sign in with any other linked provider or your password.
