If you have both just pick the one you like. You’ll be presented the option every time just like service canada and CRA.

I don’t really sign into any Government site, I go to Service Canada/Ontario directly in person when I need to handle matters in terms of paper etc.

I never had to do something like this so I’m still stuck on which sign-in method to choose.

directly in person when I need to handle matters in terms of paperless

So your paperless method is to stand in line with paper in hand?

Sign in partner would be your bank, you sign into your bank account and your bank will verify its really you.

I meant to say in person with paper, instead of paperless I don’t do much online like that that’s what I meant to say I messed up. Ah Sign-in partner seems very secure and a GCKey is a username and password you make up yourself I presume.

Am I able to switch between the two or if I pick sign in partner that will be my method to sign in permanently?

IIRC cgkey needs to be sent by mail to your PAL address.

It gives me a choice every time I sign on

Also, attending in person, I don't have that kind of time or patience when I could just check online in three minutes.
