What is forced login?

To allow Securly to monitor and report student activity efficiently, we recommend that you enable Forced Login in the Global Settings. With forced login, users are required to log in to their Google or Microsoft accounts before starting their browsing sessions. This provides user names to match activity in the reports section. This ensures users are served the appropriate policy as determined by you for their OU.

Note that forced login is mandatory for off-site use to ensure maximum student safety.

Enable forced login

  1. Log in to Securly Filter.
  2. Navigate to the Policy Editor > Global Settings > toggle the switch to enable the 'Force Logins' field.

User experience

Whenever a user starts a browsing session for the first time, he will be prompted to log in.

  1. Depending upon the authentication mechanism used by the school, the student selects either 'Login with Google' or 'Login with Microsoft'.

  1. If the student selects 'Login with Google, ' they will be directed to the Google 'Choose an account' page from where he can log in to his Google account.
