About This Feature
Overview
Single-Account Sign-In lets you sign in to WPS Office on Windows with one WPS account and keep that account active in the client. After you sign in, the current account can connect to WPS Cloud Documents and any activated membership benefits, making it easier to continue your work under the same account.
Core tasks include:
- Single-account sign-in: Open the sign-in entry from the top right corner of the Home page, choose an available sign-in method, and complete account verification.
- Keep the sign-in state: After sign-in is completed, the client keeps the current account active so you can return in a signed-in state the next time you open WPS Office.
This feature is useful for daily personal work, checking personal cloud files across devices, and confirming which account is currently in use.

| Capability Summary | Supports account sign-in from the Sign In entry in the top right corner of the Windows client Home page. You can choose methods such as email, Google, or Apple sign-in. After sign-in, the account connects to cloud documents and membership benefits while keeping the current account active. | Microsoft 365 apps on Windows let users sign in from File > Account > Sign In and use a personal, work, or school account to activate apps and cloud services. | Google Docs supports signing in with a Google account in the browser and switching accounts from the profile photo in the top right corner. Its official guidance focuses more on browser-based account switching. | Notion supports several sign-in methods, including email verification code, password, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and passkeys, and it also provides new login alerts. | Adobe Acrobat Sign lets users enter an email address on the public login page and then continue with the authentication methods configured for that account, such as password, federated authentication, Adobe, or Google sign-in. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The sign-in entry is directly available in the top right corner of the client Home page. Distinct: After sign-in, the same account can continue with cloud documents and activated benefits in one place. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft guidance focuses more on subscription activation and sign-in limits across devices, and the sign-in entry is described from the account page inside Office apps. | Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance emphasizes switching among multiple browser accounts rather than keeping one signed-in account in a Windows desktop office client. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers more sign-in methods, including passkeys, but its help content is centered on a broader account system rather than a Windows office client home entry. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's guidance is centered on Acrobat Sign service access and organization-based authentication rather than a general office client sign-in entry on the Home page. |

Overall Conclusion
For users who want a direct way to sign in and stay signed in on a Windows office client, WPS provides a straightforward entry point and a simple account flow for everyday work. If your work depends more on browser-based account switching, enterprise identity systems, or document-signing services, the other platforms may fit those account scenarios more closely.
