Without a doubt, it’s virtually impossible to remember all of these and therefore this is a challenge to users of various platforms such as websites and applications.

The good news, however, is that Single Sign-On technology has now become widespread. SSO enables you to login into multiple platforms with a single set of credentials.

The benefits of SSO are quite useful in terms of offering clear productivity and improving user experience.

If you are wondering why your organization needs to keep up with this new technology, here are the top 9 advantages of Single Sign-On.
