Single Sign-On (SSO) lets users log in once and then access many websites or apps without logging in again for each one.
For example, when you sign in to Gmail, you’re also automatically signed in to YouTube, Google Drive, and other Google services.
Many social media platforms and big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook offer SSO to make logging in easier and faster.

You have to choose an SSO provider to enable it. And if you have a WordPress website you can do it using plugin.
1. Install a WordPress SSO plugin. Popular options include MiniOrange SSO or WP OAuth Server.
2. Connect your WordPress site to the third-party login service by entering required details like Client ID, Client Secret, or metadata.
3. Add your WordPress site URL in the SSO provider’s dashboard.
4. Save your settings and test the SSO login to ensure everything works properly.

SSO has some drawbacks, here are:- Setting up SSO can be a little technical, so you might need help from your IT team or the service provider.
- Some advanced features may only be available in the paid version of the plugin or service.
- Also, user data may be stored or shared by the SSO provider, so make sure you follow privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA if needed.
