About This Feature
Overview
Single-Account Sign-In in WPS Office for macOS is an account access feature that lets you sign in to the desktop app with one WPS account and connect cloud documents and account benefits to the current identity.
Core tasks include:
- Sign in with one account: Open the sign-in entry at the top right of the WPS home screen, choose a sign-in method, and complete account verification.
- Keep the current account signed in: After sign-in, you can continue using the same account the next time you open WPS and check account details in the personal center.
This feature fits everyday personal work, checking personal cloud files across devices, and confirming which account is currently active in WPS.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports signing in on the Mac client from the top-right Sign in entry and connects cloud documents and account benefits to the current account. | Microsoft Office supports signing in to desktop apps or the web with a Microsoft account or a work or school account. | Google Docs supports signing in with a Google Account and switching between multiple accounts. | Notion supports several sign-in methods, including email code, password, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and passkeys. | Adobe Acrobat Sign lets users enter an email address on the login page and then shows the authentication methods available for that account. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the sign-in entry is centralized at the top right of the desktop app, and after sign-in the current account is directly tied to cloud documents and account benefits. Distinct: the flow is short for personal desktop use. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft supports both desktop and web sign-in, but its official guidance is broader across the Office suite rather than a focused single-account desktop flow. | Compared with WPS: Google supports multi-account switching in browser-based use; compared with WPS, its official guidance is less focused on keeping one account active in a desktop client. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers more sign-in methods and remote logout, but its account model is centered more on workspace collaboration. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports account-based authentication options, but its login flow is designed around e-signature services rather than a general office desktop suite. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want a direct way to sign in to the WPS Mac app with one account and immediately connect that account to cloud documents and account benefits, WPS provides a straightforward path. Other products are better aligned with browser-based multi-account use, enterprise identity flows, or workspace collaboration.
