LOA 1 means that the OP has not taken any steps to verify that any of 
the user's registration data is accurate. (name, gender, postal address, 
zip code, affiliations, etc)

The OP is still required to authenticate the user's identifier (usually 
by verifying the userid and password),  but the user data collected by 
the OP could be entirely fictitious.
