# Integrating directly with PingID

Integrate PingID with Windows login directly, machine to cloud, in a simple deployment architecture.

Use this option if PingID policy provides sufficient options for your organization's authentication experience and security policies and if your organization does not require advanced cross-organization authentication policies.

The following diagram illustrates the authentication flow when integrating PingID with Windows login directly.

To integrate PingID with Windows login directly, you need a PingID account. Download and install PingID Integration for Windows login on each machine that you want to provide the benefits of multi-factor authentication (MFA) with PingID. See [Installing the PingID integration for Windows login](pid_install_integration_windows_login.html).
