Sign-in to the app while parked

Use the Sign-in template to prompt the user to sign in using one of the following 4 sign-in methods:

  • PIN method: Displays a mandatory PIN code provided by the app and instructions for where the user should enter it.
  • Provider sign-in method: Lets users sign in using a provider (such as Google), with no input required.
  • Username/password method: Lets users enter authentication information in a single, mandatory form field.
  • QR code method (shown below): Lets users sign in by scanning a QR Code.

Add the Long Message template to provide details such as the full text of a privacy policy or terms of service. These templates are both parked-only templates, so they don't increment the step count.

Note: This sample flow shows how the templates might look in Android Auto.
