Single Sign-On (SSO)

Summary

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials.

Detailed Description

Single Sign-On (SSO) simplifies the management of multiple user accounts and streamlines the login process by allowing users to authenticate once and gain access to several services without needing to re-enter credentials. SSO is widely used in both enterprise and consumer applications, enhancing user experience while maintaining security. It operates by using a central authentication server that routes user authentication requests to various applications, ensuring that credentials are not repeatedly required.
