Google Single Sign On Authentication

In today’s digital world we have a many accounts with different passwords. The volume can be can be difficult to manage, and if credentials are stored insecurely we put ourselves at risk. Single Sign On technology boasts many benefits in ease of use and security, helping to solve this issue. Here at DAKboard we setup integration with Google Authentication to help. Single Sign On with Google and DAKboard means that you can easily and securely setup or migrate your account and no longer need to remember a separate password for your DAKboard account.

Linking Your Account to Google Takes Seconds

Simply navigate to dakboard.com and click login at the top right and select ‘Continue with Google’ in the modal. You will be redirected to the google login shown below. Make sure to login with the Gmail account you have already been using for DAKboard.

After you authenticate, you will be redirected to your normal account page like below and the migration is complete! You will still be able to login to your account with your original credentials, in addition to Google Authentication.

Creating a brand new account follows the same process after clicking the ‘Continue with Google’ on the Create Account modal shown below.
