How do I change how people log in?

Want everyone to log in with Microsoft or Google? This article shows you how to choose how people log in to OfficeMaps, and how to let certain people keep using a one-time password.

Note: To use Microsoft log in, your Microsoft 365 integration must be set up and authorised. See How do I sync people from Microsoft Entra (Azure AD)?

How log in works by default

On the OfficeMaps login page, people choose how to log in: Log in with Microsoft, Log in with Google or Log in with Email. By default, logging in with email sends them a one-time password.

For step-by-step instructions people can follow, see Log in: Microsoft, Google or one-time password.

Require Microsoft or Google log in

  1. Click Admin, then Administration.

  2. Under Settings, click People.

  3. Find Login Page Behaviour. It’s set to OTP (one-time password) by default.

  4. Choose Microsoft or Google. If your organisation has its own single sign-on set up, it’s listed here too.

    The Login Page Behaviour options.
    The Login Page Behaviour options.

Once it’s set, people log in with Microsoft or Google, and one-time passwords are switched off.

To go back to one-time passwords, choose OTP again.

Let one person use a one-time password

Some people may not have a Microsoft or Google account, such as contractors. You can let them keep using a one-time password:

  • When you add them: tick Allow OTP in the New Person panel.

  • For someone already in OfficeMaps: open their profile, click Edit, tick Allow OTP and click Save.

The Allow OTP column in the People list shows who can use a one-time password.

Tips

  • Test the change with your own account before you tell everyone.

  • If someone can’t log in after the change, check that their OfficeMaps email matches the email of their Microsoft or Google account.
