Login widgets facilitate easy access to your MSL website, catering to two main types of users: those with MSL login credentials, like staff, guests, and sometimes students, and those with external Single Sign On (SSO) login credentials, mainly used by students and occasionally staff, if configured accordingly. For further details on website account types, see Website Account.
The Login widget offers easy access to features like optional Registration Pages and a Reset Password option. Both the Login and SSO Login widgets allow you to set a default landing page, directing users to a specific page upon login. If this field isn't set, users are returned to the page they were viewing before logging in, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Customisable messages are available for scenarios such as missing credentials, incorrect password, account lockout, accounts that haven't been validated, or prompting users to use the SSO Login widget if they have an SSO-linked account.
