# Sign-in method

When you create your Hippoly user account, you choose a primary sign-in method that you use to access your account. This choice matters, but it isn’t permanent. You can change your primary sign-in method at any time. For improved security and convenience, we **strongly** **recommend** [adding a passkey](/administration/user-account-settings/passkeys.md) as an additional, seamless sign-in option.

### Hippoly sign-in methods

Hippoly supports several secure ways to access your account. The email and password method is protected by mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), giving you a strong level of protection against unauthorized access. In selected regions, we also support eID (Electronic Identity) sign-in for maximum convenience and compliance.

#### Currently available primary sign-in methods

* Email and pasword with 2FA
* MitID
* Swedish BankID
* Norwegian BankID
* FTN

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.hippoly.com/administration/user-account-settings/sign-in-method.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
