An organization relies on several cloud-based SaaS applications, including email, CRM, and project-management tools. Users currently authenticate separately to each application, generating frequent password-reset tickets and complaints about lost productivity. The security architect proposes introducing a single sign-on (SSO) solution so that, after authenticating to the corporate identity provider, employees can launch any authorized application without re-entering credentials. Which benefit of SSO BEST supports the architect's proposal?
It provides a seamless user experience by requiring users to authenticate only once to reach all authorized applications.
It forces users to reset their passwords more frequently, reducing credential reuse across SaaS tools.
It eliminates the need for multi-factor authentication because credentials are presented a single time.
It allows each SaaS application to maintain its own independent credential store while improving audit logging.
Single sign-on centralizes authentication with an identity provider. After the first successful login, the identity provider reuses an assertion or token so the user is not prompted again, which streamlines navigation across many applications and recovers time that would otherwise be lost to repeated credential entry. SSO does not by itself mandate more frequent password changes, weaken the need for MFA, or leave credentials scattered in separate application stores; in fact it replaces those multiple credential stores with one authoritative source.
