About This Feature

Overview

Sign-In Methods is a built-in account access feature in WPS Office for macOS. It helps you sign in to your WPS account with a linked email address or third-party account.

Core capabilities include:

Email account sign-in for regular account access.
Third-party sign-in through linked Google, Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, or Huawei accounts.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	WPS for Mac provides one sign-in entry on the home page and supports Google, Apple, email, Facebook, Dropbox, Huawei account, and other available methods shown in the sign-in window.	Microsoft 365 apps on macOS support sign-in with the Microsoft account or work/school account associated with Office.	Google Docs supports signing in with a Google account and switching between multiple Google accounts.	Notion supports email code, email password, Google, Apple, Microsoft, SAML SSO, and passkeys for account access.	Adobe Acrobat Sign lets users enter an email address first and then continue with the authentication methods configured for that account, such as password, federated authentication, Adobe, or Google sign-in.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places multiple sign-in choices in one client entry point, which is convenient for users who already linked different account types.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on its own account system and official guidance emphasizes Microsoft personal or work/school sign-in.	Compared with WPS: Google centers on Google account access and account switching rather than a broader third-party sign-in menu inside a desktop office client.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers more identity options, including passkeys and enterprise SSO; WPS keeps the sign-in path simple inside the desktop app home page.	Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes organization-based authentication and account configuration, while WPS is more direct for personal office sign-in on Mac.

Overall Conclusion: WPS is suitable when you want a direct sign-in entry in the Mac client and want to choose from several linked account methods in one place. Other products also provide official sign-in flows, but they are often centered on their own account systems or organization-managed authentication.
