This page summarizes the different types of activation mechanisms that are supported by SpotMe apps, and that you can configure.
Each mechanism allows you to easily, securely, and conveniently authenticate your users based on the available data.
The methods vary depending on whether the app is used for a single or for multiple events.

- Email login (default for branded apps).
- Email and password (default for Eventspace).
- Single Sign-On (SSO).
- Third-party login (3PL).
