==Login Page Branding==
There are several settings under '''Page Formatting''' to control the look of the background image and its positioning. Note, background images should be something generic like a solid block of color, a pattern or photo. Avoid graphic elements like logos that must be visible as the same image will be used across all devices, screen sizes and both in portrait and landscape so clipping will occur. The recommended dimensions of background images are 1920 x 1280 with 72 pixels per inch (PPI). You can also adjust the opacity and color of the panel.
==Multiple/Switching Languages==
Administrators need to may create a separate login page for each language you they want to support. You Administrators will choose the desired language for a login page when you they create a new login page.
If you have more than one language login page, the user will see a select one drop down in the top right of the screen as long as you are using have set the default layout or standard '''Page Layout''' setting to '''Default''', alternately you may chose '''Custom''' and add the sample template. The user can choose their desired language from this drop down. The language the user chooses will follow through after login. If you choose to have a single login page for all users instead of separate login pages per language, then upon login users will be directed to the language they last chose within the platform.
Administrators can choose which language login page is the default via a toggle on the settings page for the desired login page. This determines which language login page will be displayed if a user goes to https://youralias.smartsimple.com/ without specifying a language ID.
You can also send your users a direct link to [[Language|a specific language]] login page by adding '''?&lang=14''' to the login page URL. The For example the URL to a Spanish login page would look like this:as follows where 14 is the language id

: ''Main Article: [[Configuring Privacy, Confidentiality and Other Policies]]'':
Within your system you will need to set up Privacy and Security Policies. You will set these policies up for several language and country combinations. Typically, a privacy policy will say what type of information you collect, why it is collected, how it is collected , what you will use the information for, who will have access to the information, how users will be notified of changes to the policy and who to contact regarding privacy concerns.
By default, the login page will have a button called '''Privacy & Security Policies''' in the main panel below the email and password inputs. This link will display any policies you have set up for the '''Default Country''' (default country is a privacy country option that is generally used for all countries if the user has not logged in or if there are no country-specific policies). After the user has logged in, and if the user has a country specified in their profile then the user will be able to see their specific countries/language policies in the header if they have been configured.
If you have chosen a date for '''Enforce User Acceptance''' the user will be brought directly to your policies upon login and the user will be forced to accept the policies in order to use the system. A record of that acceptance is also recorded and retrievable.

==CAPTCHA on the Login==
If you enter the wrong email and password into the login page twice you will see a CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. It is used in this case to verify that the user is a person and not an automated program is attempting to login.
[[File:captcha-login.jpg|thumb|none|800px|CAPTCHA displayed after wrong email and password combination entered]]
You can toggle the CAPTCHA on or off for your entire system by going to '''Menu''' icon > '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab > and choose either '''Enabled''' Google reCAPTCHA or '''Disabled'''. The "inherit" choice only affects signup pages and will not disable alternate CAPTCHA on the login. Note you can also choose to use an or specify alternate CAPTCHA only for users in countries that are unable to communicate with CAPTCHA servers because of government policy. This is done by selecting a country such as China in the '''Countries Using Alternate CAPTCHA Service:''' setting. [[File:Recaptcha.png|thumb|none|800px|This setting can be found at '''Menu''' icon > '''Global CAPTCHA Settings]]''' > '''Security''' tab.
==Popup Blocker Check==
The '''Alternate '''tab from the Login Page list view is used to create and edit multiple custom login pages with a specific instance URL.
If you are on the '''Alternate''' tab When , when you click the '''New Login Page''' button that looks like a '''+''' icon in the action bar then you will create a New Alternate Login Page.
Alternate login pages work differently then Primary login pages, so you can’t reuse the code from the Primary login pages. Alternate login pages also require more customization and the users are required to enter a long url to use these
