This article introduces the Next ID platform and One Login, explains what it is, how it works, and how it simplifies access to Next products through a single, unified login. It describes how to obtain and use a Next ID, what happens to existing user accounts and login credentials upon activation, and important details such as account ownership and login procedures.
What Is This About?
Next ID and One Login is a platform designed to make logging in and accessing your Next products simpler and more seamless.
What Is a Next ID?
Your Next ID is a personal account that gives you access to all your Next products with just one login. You can access One Login and your Next ID at login.next-tech.com.
Your Next ID belongs to you personally — no one else can access it, not even your company administrator. So for example, if you change employers, your Next ID goes with you and is ready to use in the future.
If you encounter any problems along the way, you are welcome to contact Next Support and they will be happy to help. You never have to go it alone!
What Do I Use It For?
When you log in to login.next-tech.com, you arrive at Next Dashboard. From there, you can access all your products without needing to remember additional links or web addresses.

How Do I Get a Next ID?
Depending on which products you currently have access to, your Next ID will either be created automatically for you (with just a few simple steps to complete), or you will be guided through a quick setup when One Login is activated. The whole process is simple and takes just a minute or two — anyone can do it!
How Do I Log In With a Next ID?
Once your Next ID has been created — either automatically by the system or manually by you — your login name will always be an email address. You can change this address later if you need to.
Your password will either be based on the password from one of your existing products, or you will enter it manually yourself. Either way, it will be completely clear what is happening — we promise! 😊
The login screen will look a bit different when One Login is activated, but it will be obvious that you are using your Next ID to log in instead of the credentials you previously used for individual Next products.
Whether you visit login.next-tech.com or use a product-specific address to access your Next products, you always end up on the same login page — shown below.

What Happens to My Existing User Accounts in Next Products?
Your current user accounts in Next products remain exactly as they are. Your roles, permissions, personal information, and settings do not change at all. The only thing that changes is how you log in to your products.
Instead of using separate login credentials (a different username and password for each product), you simply use your Next ID to access everything.
Your Next ID will also contain some basic personal information — initially just your name. Because your Next ID is personal and is not tied to a specific company or product, any changes you make to your Next ID will not affect the information in your individual products.
Is There Anything Else to Consider?
Not really! One thing worth knowing is that you can only link one product user account per product to your Next ID. For example, if you have multiple users in Next Planning that you use for different purposes, you will need either a separate Next ID for each Next Planning user (which is probably not ideal), or you can contact your company administrator to transfer access from one user to another.
If you have users in two different Next Project instances or companies, that is no problem at all — you can link as many Next Project companies as you want.
