What is SSO and why is it useful for businesses?

Login fatigue is real. And juggling too many credentials is slowing your team down. Single Sign-On (SSO) offers a smarter solution by letting your employees securely access all their work apps with just one login.

In this article, we’ll break down what SSO is, how it works, and why Proton SSO is a simple yet powerful way to boost productivity and reduce security risks across your organization.

What is Single Sign On (SSO)?

SSO is an identity access management (IAM) tool that allows users to seamlessly access multiple applications and websites with just one login. With Proton SSO, for example, you just have to authenticate your identity once to have access across all Proton services.

How can Proton SSO help my business?

Managing dozens of logins isn’t just frustrating; it’s a drain on time, focus, and security.

Proton SSO eliminates these daily disruptions by giving your employees seamless access to all Proton services with a single, secure login. Whether they’re checking email, storing files, or managing passwords, your team can stay in flow — without wasting time resetting credentials or switching between accounts.

Reduce login tension while ramping up your employees’ productivity.

With SSO, your employees will only have to remember one set of credentials, and they won’t have to log in every time they want to access a different application within the Proton ecosystem.

Taking the time to log in to multiple separate accounts throughout the day can get in the way of your employees’ task flow. SSO streamlines the process so your employees can focus on the important tasks at hand, rather than fumbling with numerous logins.

With fewer passwords and usernames to manage, your IT team can spend less time on account recovery and more time on meaningful work. Say goodbye to avoidable IT tickets, especially those caused by forgotten login details. Single sign-on (SSO) helps your employees stay focused on their projects. For even better security, we recommend pairing SSO with a secure password manager, such as Proton Pass.

Sign on securely with Proton SSO

SSO doesn’t just make your business more efficient — it makes your data more secure, too. At Proton, we know your business has sensitive data that needs the strongest protection at all times. Using SSO means your employees don’t have to use multiple passwords, some of which could be weak and put your business’ data at risk.

Because each new password creates another possible access point for scammers to enter, SSO eliminates these security risks. And because your employees won’t need to use more than one login, you’ll reduce your risk of phishing attempts as well.

Safeguard your data with stronger passwords

Passwords are there to protect your business’ information, but too many weak passwords creates a fragile ecosystem ripe for hacking. Proton Pass’s password generator ensures that whatever password you create adheres to the highest security measures, making it even more difficult for hackers to access your business’ sensitive data.
