What is Single Sign On?
Single Sign On (SSO) is a user authentication service platform which allows users to use one of their personal or professional email credentials to access the multiple applications.
How Single Sign On works?
Single Sign On is a one unified authentication platform built on OAUTH2 (Open Authorization) framework that allows user's account information to be used without exposing the password.
OAUTH2 (identity provider) bridges between the end user and the service provider by providing an access token that authorizes the specific user account information. When a user tries to access the service providers application, the service provider will send a request to identity provider for authentication. Once the authentication is successful, the user is allowed to login to the application.
Benefits of Single Sign On:
- SSO allows user to maintain one login credentials to access multiple apps thus reduces pain of managing multiple user credentials.
- Streamlines the process of sign up and login to the application so user need not re-enter the password.
- Improves security protocols and capabilities.
- Lesser password reset complaints.
- Streamlines user experience as there is no need for repeated logins.
Is Single Sign On authentication process secured?
In short, yes! It is of course secured and viable solution that boost the overall security of the application while used on internet.
Two Factor Authentication is another layer of security to validate twice before granting access to the application.
