Say No to Passwords: Implement Single Sign­On

We all know that nowadays, employees are working with many devices, multiple SaaS apps, web services and other accounts. All these services are protected with the layer of unique credentials. As a result, the workload on IT admin is becoming more and more each day. IT administrators have to manage users or employees accounts regularly and reset their passwords frequently. They also have to suspend accounts of those employees who leave the office.

Therefore to simplify the process and help IT admins from the situation, the concept of a single sign­on solution came into exists. Single sign­on (SSO) replaces the number of passwords with a master password. That means now employees have only one set of credentials to access all the accounts and web services of the same business. There are many benefits of implementing the single sign­on technology. Some of them are listed below: ●

Reduces the number of passwords

One of the major problem that users are facing today is, they have dozens of web applications to access and for that dozens of credentials are required. It is quite hard for them to remember all the credentials. As I already stated, SSO eliminates the number of passwords to login multiple web applications and services of the same business.

●

Makes web login easy

Earlier, users have to fill long forms to get login to websites. For the process, they have to spent lots of their time. But now with SSO there are no more forms, with just one username and password they can easily login websites. Therefore, SSO helps businesses by making the web authentication process simple and quick. ●

Provides safe user’s data

One of the most important benefits of implementing SSO for businesses is that it provides a unified view of the customers. The data that is driven through SSO is very safe and reliable. This data helps marketers to know their customers more. ●

Highly secure

The single sign­on method is highly secure. It is very difficult for IT thieves to crack individual’s account and credentials. Thus, the system helps businesses to keep their user’s data and other related information secure.

Security, reliability, scalability, best user experience etc. are some of the most required ingredients that boost the value of any business. Single sign­on solution fulfills the all.

So if your business has not implemented SSO technology yet, implement it as soon as possible.
