Login
The block used to log an individual in to your mobile application.
The purpose of this block is pretty obvious, but in case you are unsure, it is to log a registered individual into your application using a Rock credential.
If you need to set up registration, check out the Register or Onboard Person blocks.
Login Page App Setting
When you create an instance of the Login block, it would be a good idea to also set the Login Page application setting. This allows the app to perform auto-security redirects and is used in a couple of other places functionally.

External Authentication
Listed below is the corresponding documentation for every external authentication provider that can be integrated with Rock Mobile.

When considering integration with external authentication, be mindful of the UX change for your users. Rock uses credentials (username and password) to log people in. In many cases, people enter their email address as their username and likely assume the login is directly linked to that email, but it is not. This changes when external authentication is used.
External authentication is typically linked to another account that is directly tied to an email. If this is an email address shared between family members, a person match will not occur, and a duplicate will be created. Individuals will not be able to share an email in this way.
