Single Sign-On (SSO) lets you access multiple systems with just one login. Here’s how it works and what to expect when your firm uses it.

What is SSO?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a technology that makes it easier for you to log in to different systems using just one set of credentials (such as your work email and password). With SSO, you only need to log in once, and then you can access all the platforms your firm has linked to SSO without entering your password again.
How does SSO work?
Your firm provides you with a special link like [subdomain].getsilverfin.com where you log in with your usual credentials. After this, SSO automatically logs you in across all connected applications, saving time and effort.
Why use SSO?
With SSO, you only need one password instead of many. Plus, your firm can add extra security measures, like multi-factor authentication, in one central place, making it easier to stay secure.
What if your firm enforces SSO?
In some cases, your firm may enforce SSO, meaning you must log in this way. If you attempt to log in with a username and password, you’ll see a message guiding you to use SSO instead.
