| Browser hosting requires a change to the way built in word processing works since it is not possible to take control of Microsoft Word, as the conventional IQX does. Instead there is a [[AXWWriter|basic word processor]] within the program, combined with the ability to download and upload documents, so that they can be edited locally if needed. | Browser hosting requires a change to the way built in word processing works since it is not possible to take control of Microsoft Word, as the conventional IQX does.

| Access is gained using either a Google or Microsoft email account. Both google and Microsoft are gold standard providers of the oauth2 authentication mechanism. They have to be. This is used to confirm that the logging in user is the owner of the email address. And at the same time to allow them to give permission for IQX to access their Gmail or Microsoft email account. It does NOT allow google or Microsoft to access their IQX data. And it does not allow them into IQX unless the logging in email address is a current user within the IQX database (which can be blocked at any time if needed). This also means that IQX does not store any user credentials, preventing compromising of the Google and or Microsoft accounts. We never see their Google / Microsoft login, it is being done on Google's / Microsoft' servers - not ours. | Access is gained using either a Google or Microsoft email account.
