SSO
SSO (Single Sign-On) is a login method that lets you use one set of credentials, like a username and password, to access multiple related applications or services.
How it works
It works by centralizing authentication through a trusted identity provider, which then grants access tokens to other approved applications. This matters because it improves security by reducing password fatigue and simplifies the user experience by eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords.
Examples
- 1.Logging into your company's email, project management software, and HR portal with the same work account.
- 2.Using your Google or Facebook account to sign up for and log into various third-party websites and apps.
