Logging in with Microsoft
How Microsoft login works in Coassemble, which Microsoft account it uses, and why it isn't the same as Microsoft Enterprise SSO.
Yes. Coassemble has Log in with Microsoft on the sign-in screen, so you can use your Microsoft account instead of a Coassemble password. It's a social login, not Microsoft Enterprise SSO.
How to use it
- Go to coassemble.com/signin.
- Select I'm a returning user.
- Select Log in with Microsoft and sign in with your Microsoft account.
Use it if your Microsoft account has the same email address as your Coassemble account, however you first signed up.
Which Microsoft account it uses
Use the work Microsoft account attached to your Coassemble account. Coassemble accounts are created from a work email address, because the sign-up form asks for your work details including a job title and doesn't accept free email domains. So while Microsoft itself will let you sign in with a personal account, that account won't be attached to a Coassemble workspace and you'll be told there's no account for it.
How this differs from Microsoft Enterprise SSO
- Log in with Microsoft (social login). You use an existing Microsoft account to sign in rather than creating another password. You choose it yourself, per account, on the sign-in screen. Coassemble has this.
- Microsoft Enterprise SSO (SAML or OIDC). Configured by an IT department and centrally controlled, so employees are signed in to business applications automatically once they're signed in to their company computer, with access managed from the identity provider. Coassemble does not offer Microsoft Enterprise SSO.
If your IT or security team is asking about SSO in a review, that difference is the answer they need: authentication is per user through Microsoft's consent flow, not provisioned or de-provisioned centrally.
Frequently asked questions
I signed up with an email and password. Can I switch to Microsoft login?
Yes, if your Microsoft account uses the same email address. Select Log in with Microsoft and it signs you in to your existing account. The first time, you may be asked for a 6 digit code we email to you.
Does logging in with Microsoft give Coassemble access to my Microsoft data?
No. It confirms who you are with Microsoft so you can sign in. It doesn't connect your mailbox, files or calendar to Coassemble.
My learners take courses through a link. Do they need a Microsoft account?
No. Learners taking a course from a link don't sign in to Coassemble at all. This applies to people who build and manage courses.
