Single Sign On (SSO)

What is Single Sign On? (SSO)

Single Sign-On is an authentication method allowing users to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials rather than maintaining separate usernames and passwords for each system.

SSO improves user experience by reducing password fatigue, streamlines access management, enhances security through centralized authentication, and reduces help desk password reset requests. SSO implementations use protocols like SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect to securely share authentication across applications.

For organizations with multiple accounting, HR, and business systems, SSO simplifies the user experience, improves security posture, facilitates access governance, and increases productivity by eliminating repetitive login processes. SSO has become a standard expectation for modern enterprise software environments.
