Tutorial
One login for everything
The best password is the one your team does not have to manage.
Connect your identity provider, map your users, and turn on single sign-on, so your team signs in with credentials they already have, and you control access from one place.
What SSO gives you
One sign-in
Use the identity provider your team already trusts.
Central control
Grant or revoke access for everyone from one place.
Fewer passwords
No new credentials to create, reset or leak.
Why bother
One login is fewer passwords and fewer risks
Every separate account is another thing to forget and another door to guard.
Single sign-on lets your team use the identity provider they already trust, so there's no new password to create, reset or leak. For admins, it means access is granted and revoked in one place.
The setup is shorter than most people expect, connect your provider, map who gets in, and your whole team is signing in with credentials they already have.
Highlights
The steps
Connect
Link your identity provider.

Turn it on
Enable SSO for the team.
Before you start
The three details that make SSO smooth
Have three things open before you begin: your identity provider's admin console, the metadata URL or certificate it exposes, and a test account that is not your own admin login. Configuring SSO with the same account you test it with is how people lock themselves out.
Roll out in monitor mode first, SSO available, passwords still allowed. Watch a few days of logins, confirm your user attributes map cleanly, and only then enforce SSO-only. The teams that skip straight to enforcement are the ones writing support tickets at 9 a.m. Monday.
Finally, agree on the deprovisioning story with IT: when someone leaves the identity provider, their sessions here should die within minutes, not at the next token refresh. That single setting is most of the security value SSO was bought for.
We build software for teams who want their tools to fit the way they actually work — web, mobile, AI and the systems that tie them together. We write here about what we learn shipping it.
