Modern residents expect frictionless access to online services. MyWatchtower makes it easy to sign in using the accounts you already have with trusted providers like Google, Apple, or Facebook. This capability is called social sign‑on and lets you authenticate without creating a separate MyWatchtower password.
Social sign‑on uses your existing account credentials from a third‑party provider to verify your identity. When you choose to log in with Google, Apple, or Facebook, MyWatchtower redirects you to the selected provider’s secure login page. You enter your credentials there, and once authenticated the provider passes a token back to MyWatchtower confirming who you are. MyWatchtower never sees your provider password.
Convenience – No need to remember another username and password.
Security – You benefit from your provider’s robust security measures, such as multi‑factor authentication.
Speed – Sign‑in is quick; your name and email are pre‑filled in MyWatchtower’s registration forms.
Under the “or continue with” divider, click the Google, Apple, or Facebook icon button. A new window will open.
Enter your provider credentials if prompted and authorize MyWatchtower to access your basic profile information.
You’ll be returned to MyWatchtower and asked to confirm your name and contact details. Complete any missing fields and click Continue.
If you’re a first‑time user, MyWatchtower will walk you through selecting your property and requesting approval (see “How to create an account in MyWatchtower”).
Make sure you stay logged in to your chosen provider on your device. If you are logged out of your provider, MyWatchtower will prompt you to re‑authenticate.
Social sign‑on is an option, not a requirement. If you prefer to keep your MyWatchtower credentials separate, you can sign up with an email and password instead.
Keep your provider account secure by enabling multi‑factor authentication (MFA). If you change the email associated with your provider, update your MyWatchtower profile accordingly so you continue to receive notifications.
Social sign‑on streamlines access to your community while preserving security. Choose the method that best fits your lifestyle and device usage.
