Introduction to Single Sign-On (SSO)

Contents

    In this security focused age we live in, Single Sign-On is just one of the many ways Smart City is providing a proactive security solution to ensure your data stays secure, safe, and confidential.  Single Sign-On (SSO) allows Hosted Voice users to remember the credentials of another account to access the power of the Administrator/User Portal.   With the click of a single button, users will automatically be launched into their account.

    When users use a separate password for each application, they usually use the same password repeatedly.  This means if one account is breached, the passwords on all accounts are compromised.

    SSO enhances the enterprise-level security by reducing the number of user logins to one set of credentials and limiting the number of times the user logs in.

    Benefits of Single Sign-On:

    • Limits the number of credentials.
    • Limits the number of times a user logs in a day.
    • Reduces chances of passwords being captured.
    • Ensures proper password protocol.
    • Users are less likely to write passwords down or repeat passwords.
    • Steps users from creating simple or commonly used passwords.
    • Prevents other poor password practices.
