Introducing Sign in With AppleCoggle now supports Sign in With Apple! This means that you can now use any Apple account to sign in to Coggle quickly, easily, and securely as an alternative to the other sign-in methods we already support.Sign in With Apple is supported on both the web version of Coggle, and our iOS and Android apps.What we Love about Sign in With AppleFirst off, I want to share what we really love about Sign in With Apple, which prompted us to add it as an option. Like the other sign-on methods support, it provides a secure way for another company that you may already have an account with to tell us, "this person is who they say they are".Apple provides us with the name you've chosen, and tells us your email address (more on that later), and that's it! Because we trust Apple not to let someone else sign in as you, we can use this to log you into the right account without verifying anything else.Whenever you use Sign in With Apple on the web you'll need to verify a two-factor code sent to a device where you're signed in with your Apple account. This ensures it's really you who's signing in, and means that even if a hacker has stolen your password, they still can't get into your account.There is also an option to hide even your email address from us, which is a privacy friendly feature that we love! For most things in Coggle we don't need to know your real email address, instead Apple provide a unique email address that forwards messages to your real one.What about Usernames and Passwords?We've never supported using a password to sign in to Coggle, because as simple as it may seem, providing this securely is not simple at all. Every day bots and hackers scan the web attempting to sign in to peoples accounts, take them over, and use them for bad things. Apple, and the other options we support for sign in, all provide protection against this in sophisticated ways, and we're happy to leave it to the experts.Posted by James, June 14th 2020
