Signing in with Google or Facebook

You can sign in to the Ruachost client area with your Google or Facebook account instead of typing your email and password.

Sign up with Google or Facebook

When creating a new account, click Google or Facebook on the sign-up page and approve the request. Your name and email address are filled in for you. Add your phone number and address to finish creating the account.

Link Google or Facebook to an existing account

1. Log in to the client area with your email and password.
2. Click your name in the top-right corner and choose Security Settings.
3. Under Linked Accounts, click Google or Facebook and approve the request.

Next time, click Google or Facebook on the login page to sign in.

Tip

Your Google or Facebook account doesn’t need to use the same email address as your Ruachost account. But keep a password on your Ruachost account too, so you can still log in if you lose access to Google or Facebook.

Unlink Google or Facebook

1. Go to Security Settings in the client area.
2. Under Linked Accounts, click Unlink next to the account.

You then sign in with your email and password. If you never set a password, reset it first.

Security

• Two-factor authentication still applies when you sign in with Google or Facebook. See How to activate two-factor authentication.
• Turn on two-step verification on your Google or Facebook account too, because anyone who can get into it can get into your Ruachost account.
• We only receive your name, email address and a sign-in token. We never see your Google or Facebook password.
