Scanova lets you sign in or create an account using your Google account instead of a password. Google shows up in two places: as a sign-in/registration option, and as a way to re-confirm your identity for sensitive changes on accounts that don’t have a password set.

​
Signing in or registering with Google

Continue with Google appears at the top of both the login page (/auth/login) and the registration page (/auth/register), above the email/password fields.

Selecting Continue with Google opens Google’s standard account picker/consent flow. If you don’t already have a Scanova account, one is created automatically using your Google account’s email address; if you do, you’re signed straight in.
There’s no separate “connect your Google account” toggle in Account settings — Google sign-in isn’t something you link to an existing password-based account after the fact. It’s either how you originally signed up or logged in, or it’s used for the re-authentication described below.

​
Re-authenticating with Google

Certain sensitive actions — changing your MFA methods, changing your email, or deleting your account — ask you to confirm your identity first. If your account has a password, that confirmation is a password field. If your account has no password (because you signed up or have only ever signed in with Google), Scanova shows a Continue with Google button in its place, so you can confirm via Google instead of a password you never set. This applies in:
  • The Manage MFA drawer — before adding, changing the default, or removing a method.
  • The change-email flow in Account settings.
  • The delete-account flow in Account settings.
This re-authentication button was verified by reading the source (GoogleReauthButton) rather than screenshotted live — reproducing it requires a password-less, Google-only test account, and the disposable account used to verify this documentation set has a password. Functionally it’s the same Google account picker as the login/register flow above, just used to confirm identity mid-action instead of to start a session.
  • Multi-factor authentication — where Google re-authentication appears for password-less accounts.
  • Single Sign-On — a separate, organization-wide sign-in option distinct from an individual Google account.
