Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to access multiple applications or services with a single set of login credentials. After logging in once, users can seamlessly switch between different applications without needing to log in again. SSO is a feature provided by YourSix, and we strongly encourage all organizations to utilize it. The benefits of SSO include:
- Streamlined Access Management: IT teams can efficiently oversee user access and permissions from a central hub, making administration simpler and minimizing errors. This also facilitates the offboarding process for employees, ensuring that access is promptly revoked from all applications.
- Enhanced User Experience/Convenience: Users can access various applications with one set of credentials, by logging in a single instance.
- Increased Security: By minimizing the number of passwords users must manage, SSO lowers the risk of weak or reused passwords.
- Consistent Security Policies: SSO enforces uniform security protocols across all connected applications, ensuring compliance with organizational standards.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): SSO easily integrates with MFA solutions, adding an extra layer of security to user logins.
