Managing multiple usernames and passwords for various applications can become an overwhelming task. That’s where Single Sign-On (SSO) comes into play. Novatech is dedicated to making your life both simpler and more secure, and we believe SSO is a key tool to achieve that. Here’s what you need to know:

What Is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

SSO is a service that allows you to use a single set of credentials (username and password) to access multiple applications. Instead of keeping track of numerous logins, you’ll have one secure entry point.

How Does SSO Work?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to how SSO simplifies your life.

  • Log In Once: You enter your username and password just once.
  • Access Multiple Applications: The SSO system authenticates your credentials and grants you access to all connected applications.
  • Enjoy a Simplified Experience: Move between systems without having to log in again.

The Advantages of SSO

SSO offers a streamlined and more enjoyable user experience:

  • Ease of Use: Say goodbye to password fatigue with one set of secure credentials.
  • Enhanced Security: With only one strong password, you’ll be less inclined to write it down or forget it.
  • Increased Productivity: Spend less time logging in and more time focusing on what really matters.
  • Efficient Administration: IT teams find it easier to manage access and permissions.

Potential Risks of SSO

SSO is a powerful tool, but like all technology, it comes with its considerations:

  • Security: If your SSO password is compromised, an unauthorized user could access all linked applications.
  • Dependency: If the SSO system faces an issue, it might affect all connected applications.
