Single Sign-On (SSO)
What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single Sign-On is an authentication method that allows a user to log in with a single set of credentials to access multiple related yet independent software systems. Once authenticated, the user can move between different applications without being prompted to log in again.
Why It Matters
-
It improves user productivity and experience by reducing the number of passwords they need to remember and enter.
-
SSO centralizes identity management, making it easier for IT teams to grant or revoke access to multiple tools simultaneously.
-
It reduces the risk of password fatigue, which often leads users to choose weak or repetitive passwords across different services.
