Let’s be honest — no one likes remembering passwords. Especially when you’re juggling five different systems, each with their own login. It’s clunky, frustrating, and more than a little bit risky.

That’s where Single Sign-On (SSO) comes in.

It’s a simple idea with a big impact: log in once, and access everything you need — no juggling usernames or forgetting which password you used for which platform.

So, What Is SSO?

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a way to let users access multiple systems or apps with just one secure login. It means once you’re signed in to your main identity provider — like Microsoft, Google, or your organisation’s internal system — you’re automatically logged in to the other tools connected to it.

No need to log in again. No password fatigue. Just in — and on with the job.

Why It Matters

SSO isn’t just a convenience feature. It’s a smarter, safer way to work.

• Fewer passwords to remember = less chance of being locked out or writing them down on sticky notes.
  
  
• Less IT support required = fewer reset requests or login issues to manage.
  
  
• More secure = access is controlled through a central identity provider, making it easier to apply organisation-wide policies like two-factor authentication or automatic lockouts.
  
  
• Faster onboarding and offboarding = when someone joins or leaves your team, you can grant or remove access in one place.
  
  

It’s particularly handy for larger teams, rotating staff, or field workers who don’t have time (or the headspace) to manage multiple logins.

How We Use It at HutSix

When we build systems, we can integrate Single Sign-On using providers like Microsoft, Google Workspace, or other custom identity platforms your organisation already uses. 

We can also connect your custom HutSix system to your existing SSO setup — so your users don’t have to remember yet another password just to log an incident report, update a record, or complete a form.

It’s one less barrier to adoption — and it makes your digital systems feel more seamless.

TL;DR

SSO = one login, multiple systems.

It’s faster, safer, and a lot less painful than juggling a dozen passwords.
