Single Sign-On, or SSO, lets you log in once and access all your connected apps without having to re-enter your password each time. It’s especially helpful for remote teams and businesses with centrally managed IT systems. SSO improves security, saves time, and makes life easier, no more juggling multiple logins. {% hint style="danger" %} If you’re using a password manager, make sure it’s updated to recognise [**https://auth.speckel.io**](https://auth.speckel.io). If anything doesn’t work as expected, reach out to us at ****. {% endhint %} ## **Why use SSO?** Beyond convenience, SSO offers serious benefits for both security and efficiency: * Stronger passwords – With just one to remember, it’s easier to make it a good one. * Less password reuse – Reduces the risks that come from reusing the same password everywhere. * Better control – IT teams can manage password policies, resets, and compliance all in one place. * Extra protection – SSO supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all apps. * Simplified session control – Admins can set timeouts or require re-authentication centrally. * Fewer third-party risks – Credentials are handled internally, limiting exposure. * More time for real work – Less time wasted on password resets, more time getting things done. ### **How it SSO works** When you log in through SSO, the system creates a secure token, like a digital pass, that proves who you are. This token is then used to log you into other apps without asking for your password again. If you're not already signed in, you’ll be taken to your organisation’s SSO login page. Once you’re authenticated, you’re good to go. SSO doesn’t store your details directly. Instead, it checks your credentials against your company’s identity system, kind of like a librarian looking something up in a catalogue instead of memorising every book on the shelf. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.betterbuilding.io/support-and-training/other-support/faqs/data-and-security/single-sign-on-sso.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
