## Why might I be required to sign in?
101+
102+
If Docker Desktop is prompting you to sign in, it may be due to policies set
103+
by your organization's administrator:
104+
105+
### Organization sign-in enforcement
106+
107+
Your organization requires all users to sign in and be members of the
108+
organization to use Docker Desktop. This provides enhanced security and ensures
109+
only authorized users can access Docker Desktop. For more information, see [Enforce sign-in for Docker Desktop](/manuals/security/for-admins/enforce-sign-in/_index.md).
110+
111+
### Unassociated machine identification
112+
113+
Your organization wants to identify who is using Docker Desktop on machines
114+
that appear to belong to your company. You can sign in with any email address.
115+
This helps administrators understand Docker usage across the organization. For
116+
more information, see [Manage unassociated machines](/manuals/security/for-admins/unassociated-machines.md).
