Core capabilities include:

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports email, phone verification code, and SSO sign-in methods from the WPS startup sign-in interface.	Microsoft 365 supports sign-in with a personal account or a work or school account in Office apps, and Microsoft documents email address sign-in for Windows apps.	Google account sign-in supports email or phone on the account page, and Google Workspace supports SAML and OIDC SSO through third-party identity providers.	Notion supports email verification code, email and password, SAML SSO, and additional sign-in options such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and passkeys.	Adobe documents email address sign-in for Adobe accounts and also provides account access methods such as social sign-in and passkeys in its account help area.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places phone number, email, and SSO entry points in one startup sign-in flow. Distinct: It fits both personal and enterprise account access in the same client.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's sign-in guidance is centered on the Microsoft 365 account system inside Office apps after installation.	Compared with WPS: Google's official SSO guidance is more administrator-focused than a unified desktop suite sign-in entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers more sign-in methods overall, but SAML SSO depends on Business or Enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's sign-in guidance is more account-management focused than a unified office-suite startup sign-in entry.
