What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?​

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows users to log in to multiple applications with a single set of credentials. Once authenticated, users can seamlessly access integrated platforms without needing to log in separately for each service.

  • Enhanced security: Reduces the need for multiple passwords and centralizes user authentication.
  • Improved user experience: Users can access Cosafe and other integrated applications with a single login.
