Lawmatics takes security very seriously and is proud to offer top-notch, industry standards for all of your data and sign-in security.

Social Sign-On is an identification method that enable users to log in to multiple applications with one set of credentials. Not only does social sign-on help improve security, it also saves your users time and effort by allowing them to use one set of credentials to access multiple applications. Lawmatics is pleased to offer social sign-on for both Google and Microsoft credentials.

It is very important to note that if you choose to sign in with social sign-on, you will no longer be able to sign in using your original Lawmatics credentials, you will need to sign in with social sign-on moving forward. Read on to learn more about this along with the steps of setting up social sign-on.

When you go to you login page, you will see something similar to the image below:

If you choose not to use social sign-on, you are welcome to use the regular Email Address and Password fields to enter your existing Lawmatics credentials. This is still a secure and effective way to access your Lawmatics account.

If you do wish to use social sign-on, select either Google or Microsoft, depending on which system you use. If you use Microsoft, you will be taken to a page similar to the one shown below, and prompted to enter your Microsoft credentials.

Similar, if you select Google for your social sign-on provider, you will be taken to a page such as the one below and prompted to enter your Google credentials.

As previously mentioned, it is very important to note that once you have chosen to use social sign-on (either Microsoft of Google), you cannot return to using your pre-existing Lawmatics credentials. Once you have set up social sign-on, you must login using social sign-on moving forward.

If you do attempt to sign in with your pre-existing Lawmatics credentials after you have already set up social sign-on, you will see a screen similar to the one below, and you must try to login again using either Google or Microsoft, whichever you previously set up.

Once again, you are not required to use social sign-on. You are welcome to login using your Lawmatics-specific credentials in the Email Address and Password fields.

Note: we also offer Single Sign-On for enterprise firms. Reach out to our support team at [email protected] to access this option.

At Lawmatics, safeguarding your data and account integrity is paramount. In line with our commitment to ensuring the highest level of security for our users, we require all Lawmatics account holders to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA adds an additional layer of protection beyond your password, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your account, and is a mandatory security measure for all users.

When you log in to your Lawmatics account for the first time after MFA enforcement, you will encounter an additional authentication step. This step is designed to verify your identity and ensure the security of your account. Here are the options that you will see available:
​

If you've chosen to use an authentication app such as Auth0 Guardian App or Google Authenticator, you will receive a notification on your device prompting you to approve the login attempt. Simply review the notification and follow the prompts to authenticate securely.

If you've opted to receive MFA codes via SMS, you will receive a text message containing a verification code to your registered phone number. Enter this code when prompted during the login process to complete authentication.

Users who have configured a security key for MFA will be prompted to insert their key into the appropriate device port and press a button to authenticate

Regardless of the MFA method you choose, Lawmatics will provide you with a one time use recovery code when first setting up MFA. This code is crucial for regaining access to your account in case you are unable to use your preferred method of authentication. We strongly advise you to save this recovery code in a secure location to ensure that you can always access your account, even if you're disconnected from your primary MFA method.

Why doesn't Lawmatics offer MFA through email?

Email-based MFA can be unreliable due to its susceptibility to phishing attacks, account compromise, and lack of device independence. For optimal security, email-based MFA is not offered, and we require the use of more secure MFA methods.
