About This Feature
Overview
Link Third-Party Accounts lets you connect a WPS account with a third-party account such as WeChat or Google. After the connection is completed, you can use the linked third-party account for faster sign-in to WPS and manage your sign-in methods more easily.
The main tasks in this feature include:
- Link a third-party account: Open the linked account settings in Personal Center, choose an available account type, and complete verification.
- Unlink a linked account: Remove an existing connection in account management when you want to change or update your sign-in method.
This feature is useful for users who want a simpler sign-in process, manage account access across devices, or adjust existing account links.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS provides a linked account entry in Personal Center so you can connect a third-party account and complete verification for faster sign-in. | Microsoft lets you add a Gmail address as a way to verify sign-in, but its official page states that you cannot use Google credentials to sign in to a Microsoft account. | Google supports Sign in with Google for third-party apps and lets users review or remove linked apps, with the focus on using a Google Account to access external services. | Notion supports sign-in with Google, Apple, and Microsoft when the account email matches, focusing on multiple login methods rather than a dedicated in-app linked account management page. | Adobe lets users connect a social account such as Google, Facebook, Apple, or Microsoft to an Adobe account and then use that social account to sign in. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS places linked account management inside the client Personal Center and combines linking or unlinking with email verification for direct sign-in method management. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on sign-in verification methods and does not describe the same kind of in-app third-party account linking flow for account login management. | Compared with WPS: Google mainly acts as the identity provider for other apps instead of offering one app-specific center to manage multiple external account links. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers several quick sign-in methods, but its help page focuses on login options instead of a separate linked account management page. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports more social platforms, but the connection flow is centered on the Adobe account website rather than the WPS desktop client. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS focuses this feature on linking and managing sign-in methods inside the desktop client. For users who want to connect or remove a third-party sign-in option from one account center, WPS provides a direct workflow that is easy to follow.
Use Cases
| # | Scenario | Target Users | Core Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Faster WPS sign-in | Users who sign in to WPS frequently | Re-entering account credentials takes extra time | Link a Google or WeChat account and use authorized sign-in later |
| 2 | Unified account management across devices | Users who work on multiple devices | Sign-in methods are scattered and harder to manage | Review and adjust linked accounts in Personal Center |
| 3 | Changing sign-in methods | Users who no longer want to use the current linked account | The existing linked method needs to be replaced | Unlink the current account and set up another one |
| 4 | Preparing backup sign-in access | Users who want more than one available sign-in method | A single sign-in method may become unavailable | Confirm email verification first, then manage linked accounts |
| 5 | Updating authorization status | Users whose third-party authorization has changed | The old connection needs to be refreshed | Unlink the old account and complete linking again |
