Single Sign-On (SSO) improves security and user experience by enabling users to sign in once and access several systems without subsequent logins. SSO mitigates password-based vulnerabilities like credential reuse and phishing attacks and boosts productivity through the reduction of authentication friction. SSO is commonly deployed via identity federation protocols like SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect to provide secure authentication among diverse applications and services. Yet, improper deployment may pose risks, including the potential for a single point of failure. Strong security controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA), session monitoring, and tight access control policies need to be implemented by organizations to counter threats.
