This eliminates the sometimes impossible task of remembering countless usernames and passwords. For IT admins, managing thousands of user accounts and security-related data for users is beyond challenging. That’s why businesses use SSO as a comprehensive strategy to improve security, improve user experience, and decrease IT costs. Why is SSO important? It reduces poor passwords. Users are less likely to choose weak passwords when they don’t have a bunch to remember. It also boosts security. Multi-factor authentication—or MFA—is often a component of SSO solutions. Now let’s talk about password managers. The powerful combo of single sign-on (SSO) and a password manager enables maximum security coverage. A password manager makes it easy to create and use strong passwords when needed, not to mention providing a safe and convenient place to store and share them. Let’s bust one very common myth about SSO: Some people think it isn’t secure. It’s too good to be true! This belief is simply false. I work at Rippling and we’ve built SSO and a password manager called RPass into our platform. Rippling offers one place for employees to access all of their work tools and resources. With our pre-built App Shop apps that support SSO, custom SAML or SCIM apps that you connect yourself, or RPass entries and bookmarked URLs all adhering to Role Based Access—your staff has reliable access to exactly what they need.
