Hi community, we appreciate many businesses have adopted single sign on with providers like Google, Microsoft Azure/Entra, and Okta to easily streamline logins to many applications and manage operational risk. Our team are staying close to votes and feedback of the idea here, and though we can't commit to development at this time, we will be sure to let you know of any progress toward enabling single sign on

Hello everyone, appreciate your feedback here. We understand that SSO is important, especially for our larger practice customers. Work toward an Azure SSO will be a long running journey, and this will take a few years to achieve.

Keep voting and give us your input on how Azure SSO can help you better manage your account. We’ll come back here to share any progress with you here.

As the push towards Passkeys kicks into high gear in 2025, Xero is way behind here. Most small businesses have Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. These are some of the most secure authentication methods because they've been pushing their users towards 2FA and now Passkeys. At the very least there should be native Passkey support, but ideally, SSO/SAML support for the like of Google. Microsoft, Okta, and Duo. This is the only 'major' app in our business stack that still relies on direct password authentication. Everything else is Passkeys or Google SSO Auth.
