Signing in to your account
Your sign in workflow depends on the identity provider that verifies your access to Watson™ Care Manager. By default, the IBM App ID service verifies your access and you can sign in when you complete the instructions that you receive by email to set up your account and password. If an identity provider external to IBM verifies your access, see Signing into your account with SSO.
