Web Authentications Count

The total number of web authentications or logins across all customers. For example, if one user logs in three times and a separate user logs in five times, this would count as a total of eight authentications. The definition of an authentication varies slightly depending on how the web product is implemented.

  • Standalone Web Implementation: An authentication is defined as a customer logging in to the web portal site.
  • Embedded Widget Implementation: An authentication is defined as any session during which a customer views at least one Opower widget in a web session. If a customer logs in to their utility's website but does not navigate to any pages where Opower data is served through an embedded widget, a login would not be counted.

Note: If you have both an embedded and a standalone web portal implementation, then the web authentications count is a sum of both types of implementations. The count does not distinguish between authentications for each type.
