Navigate to the website,
application, or network you
desire access to.
Instead of filling out your
unique credentials each
time, the SSO simply
requires that input once.
Your sign-on status remains
for as long as the
determined session duration
established by your IT
department.
This allows for easier
credential management for
both individual users and
administrators.
One potential negative is the
desire for additional
security. If you select a
vendor that can implement
MFA (multi-factor
authentication), this can be
achieved.
MFA
would send a text message,
for example, to the
individual upon the first
log-in attempt, thus
requiring an additional
access point for potential
hackers to infiltrate in
order to gain access.
