## Unique-code login in detail

Leadership and learning programmes often have a defined cohort and a strong need to know exactly who is who. Unique-code login gives each participant a code, delivered by the programme owner, which signs them in and ties the app to a specific pre-loaded profile. It avoids dependence on whichever phone or email the person prefers and cleanly handles shared devices or sensitive reflections, since the identity is fixed from the start. It resembles the personal attendee code but is typically a sign-in method for a recurring or cohort programme, while the attendee code can be a lighter entry credential for an occasion. The method works best when the organiser has a trustworthy distribution channel and a way to reissue. Sociana programmes such as leadership journeys with reflective activities rely on it, since profile continuity matters over weeks. Document privacy expectations clearly, as personal reflections are tied to the code's owner.

## How Sociana uses it

Unique-code login is one of Sociana's login models. Codes are generated from a member import and delivered outside the app by the programme owner.

## Example

A corporate leadership programme used unique codes so each participant's reflections stayed tied to a fixed profile.
