single sign-on

One password everywhere

Single sign-on is an authentication system that lets users access multiple applications or services with one set of credentials.

Rather than logging in separately to email, project management, and HR systems, you authenticate once and gain access to all connected platforms: The company implemented single sign-on so employees wouldn't need a dozen different passwords.

Often abbreviated SSO.
