The idea behind SSO it’s pretty simple, you login into only one place and can use multiple applications.

Single sign-on_ (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems_

Benefits of using single sign-on include:

• Mitigate risk for access to 3rd-party sites (user passwords not stored or managed externally)
• Reduce password fatigue from different username and password combinations
• Reduce time spent re-entering passwords for the same identity
• Reduce IT costs due to lower number of IT help desk calls about passwords
• Easier onboarding/off-boarding process for new people in your company
