5 Benefits of Single Sign-On Security

Are you constantly having to remember hundreds of different passwords on a daily basis? Do you write down passwords on post-it notes? Wouldn’t you love to have just one password for everything? Single credential security or Single sign on (SSO) technology makes logging into your online platforms quicker and more convenient, whilst also offering multiple other benefits to the reliability of your security.

Here are a couple of the advantages:

• No more password fatigue. Don’t you hate it when you have to remember multiple passwords? Or the ‘You need to reset your password’ notification? SSO means you only have to remember one powerful password, meaning vulnerable post-it note, phone and online password lists disappear.
  
• Boost productivity. The frustration and time-wasting that comes hand in hand with multiple passwords will be reduced, meaning extra productive time will quickly add up!
  

• It does increase security. With multiple passwords, many users will use the same (or similar) passwords anyway, but will have them written down somewhere. SSO systems also come with automatic sign-out technology if you are inactive, similar to online banking, so that unauthorised users can not access your software.
  
• The cost or password administration are reduced. If users forget their password, they can reset it using a simple question and answer process.
  
• Reduces the risk of people being locked out. With so many passwords to remember, it’s inevitable that users will occasionally be locked out - this will then waste time with service desks as they determine whether the person submitting the request is actually entitled to do so.
