# 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
