Introduction

Single Sign-On (SSO.ID) is a vital concept for simplifying how users log in to various applications and services. It lets users use one set of credentials, usually a username and password, to access multiple applications without having to log in separately for each one. In essence, SSO.ID makes the login process more convenient and secure. With SSO.ID, when a user logs in once to a central authentication system, known as the Identity Provider (IdP), they can access various connected applications without re-entering their credentials. This not only reduces the hassle of managing multiple usernames and passwords but also improves security by reducing the risk of password-related issues. Additionally, SSO.ID supports various authentication protocols like OAuth, OIDC (OpenID Connect), and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), making it compatible with a wide range of applications and systems.
