# Logging in to the web interface (classic)

This page provides a step-by-step guide on how to access the Nexthink web interface with your:

* Corporate [single sign-on](/platform/user-guide/administration/account-management/single-sign-on.md) (SSO) if your administrator has enabled the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication or Windows for users.
* Nexthink account if an external authentication mechanism is not available.

## Prerequisites <a href="#loggingintothewebinterface-classic-prerequisites" id="loggingintothewebinterface-classic-prerequisites"></a>

You must have a Nexthink account to access the web interface.

## Log in with corporate SSO <a href="#loggingintothewebinterface-classic-loginwithcorporatesso" id="loggingintothewebinterface-classic-loginwithcorporatesso"></a>

1. Open your web browser.
2. In the address bar, type the Nexthink instance Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), as follows:
   * `<instance>.<region>.nexthink.cloud`
   * `<instance>.data.<region>.nexthink.cloud`\
     FQDN description:
     * `<instance>` - Name of the Nexthink instance
     * `<region>` - Name of the instance localization:
       * `us` - United States
       * `eu` - European Union
       * `pac` - Asia-Pacific region
       * `meta` - Middle East, Turkey, and Africa
   * **Example:**\
     `https://kanopy.eu.nexthink.cloud`
3. The web interface redirects you to the corporate SSO authentication page by default. If you are already authenticated, the system directly logs you in to the web interface.

## Log in with local Nexthink account <a href="#loggingintothewebinterface-classic-loginwithlocalnexthinkaccount" id="loggingintothewebinterface-classic-loginwithlocalnexthinkaccount"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
Nexthink is progressively deploying Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for local Nexthink accounts. MFA may not yet be available on your tenant.

See the [Logging in to the web interface](/platform/getting-started/logging-in-to-the-web-interface.md) documentation for a description of MFA.
