What Does SSO Mean?

SSO means "Single Sign-On."

The abbreviation SSO is used with the meaning "Single Sign On," to refer to an authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials (e.g., username and password) to access multiple applications or programs. SSO is principally employed for convenience. If not deployed correctly it can degrade security. However, as it allows users to employ just one password, SSO can also greatly enhance security as it means that users are less likely to write down multiple passwords or to select passwords that are easily remembered (and, therefore, easily cracked).

SSO is widely used in a business context, on social media accounts, and in video conferencing apps (such as Zoom).
