Overview
The Login mode allows you to control whether participants must create an account, can choose to create an account or are not offered the option to create an account during registration. By default, the mode is set to require account creation during registration if no existing account is available.
Participants can also use their account for other events where Converia is used for registration or submission. This means they do not need to create new login credentials for each event.
