## Overview
A person's **Login Type** determines how they sign in to SuperPath — with a password, a magic link, Google, Microsoft or your organisation's single sign-on (SSO). You can change it from the **Edit account** panel on their profile, for example when someone moves from a password login to signing in with Google.

## How to change a person's login type
1. Go to **People** and open the person's profile.
2. Click **Actions → Edit account**.
3. On the **Core details** tab, find **Login Type** and choose the sign-in method.
4. Click **Save changes**.

> **Note:** Before changing someone's login type, make sure they can actually use the new method. If you switch them to **Password**, you can send them a welcome email so they can set one (see **How to Reset a Person's Password**).

## Things to keep in mind
* The available options are **Password**, **Magic Link**, **Google** and **Microsoft**, plus **Custom SSO** when single sign-on is configured for your organisation.
* If your organisation requires specific sign-in methods, only those options appear in the list.
* Changing the login type doesn't set up the new method for the person — confirm they have access to it before switching.
* The **Login Type** field only appears to Owners and Admins.

## FAQs
**Why can't I see the Login Type field?**
It's only shown to Owners and Admins. Other roles can't change how a person signs in.

**I switched someone to Password — how do they get one?**
Send them a welcome email, or use **Reset Password** so they receive a link to set their own password.

**What is Custom SSO?**
It's your organisation's single sign-on. This option only appears when SSO has been configured for your platform.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can change a person's login type. **Managers**, **People Managers**, **Content Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot.
