What is Single Sign-On?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a security protocol that allows users to access multiple applications with a single login. With SSO, users only need to enter their credentials once, and they can then access all the applications they are authorized to use without having to log in again. This simplifies the user experience and improves security by reducing the risk of password reuse and brute-force attacks.
