What is Single Sign-On and should you use it?
Single Sign-On (SSO) lets you log in using your Google or Apple account instead of creating a new password. It's convenient but ties this account to your Google/Apple security. Use it for convenience services, not sensitive accounts.
SSO is a shortcut. Instead of remembering a separate password for every service, you use your Google/Apple/Microsoft account to sign in. Pros: fewer passwords to manage. Cons: if that account gets hacked, the service is compromised too.
No step-by-step guide available for this issue yet — book a technician directly.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using SSO for all accounts including sensitive ones — reserve it for convenience services
- Thinking SSO is less secure than passwords — it's equally secure if your Google account is secure
- Thinking you can't use a service if you don't use SSO — you can always create a regular account
Signs you need professional help
- You're unsure whether a specific service should use SSO or a regular password
- You need help securing your Google account (the one you use for SSO everywhere)
- You have trouble changing SSO credentials after losing access to your Google account
