Before creating an account, you can access the system as a guest. On the login page, choose “Access as guest.” Guest access lets you open courses, read notes, explore the platform, and see how everything works.

2.2 Using OAuth 2 (Google Login)

There is another login option called OAuth 2. This lets you log in using your Google account instead of creating a new username and password.

How it works:

• You click “Log in with your account on Google.”

• The system redirects you to Google where you select your Gmail.

• The system will send you the confirmation email.

• After you confirm, the system logs you in automatically.

• Then you can set up the profile once logged in by adding your username and password and use them instead.(optional)

It is fast because you don’t have to remember a password for the LMS.
