            Authentication

            Learn about your options for allowing users access to Workplace.

            Overview

            This section covers everything related to user authentication and provides guidance and support on how Workplace allows users to access their accounts.

            ?
            Accounts should be provisioned before a user accesses their account for the first time. Read more about this first step in the Account Management section.

            Workplace supports two methods for authentication:

            Username and Password

            Workplace supports username and password authentication. Passwords are managed and stored by Workplace and are set by users upon verifying their identity during their first access.

            Read more in the Username and Password authentication guide.

            Single Sign-On (SSO)

            If your company uses an identity provider for other services, it's likely that you can use that for Single Sign-On (SSO) in Workplace. SSO offers the best controls for companies to manage access to Workplace. In this case, instead of a password, authentication credentials will be provided by an SSO solution.

            Read more in the Single sign-on (SSO) authentication guide.
