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

    Xero is in our security exception register. This isn't a nice place to be.

  • Susan Thearle commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is critical to our ongoing use of Xero as our IT ecosystem require this level of security as a minimum. AS others have already said - long overdue.

  • Paul Mills commented  ·   ·  Report

    Esssential to align with the security posture of out IT ecosystem.

  • Andrew Quill commented  ·   ·  Report

    Personally I can't believe after 9 years this isn't done. This is mainstream and common, not to mention a 101 style control for identity protection. To me and only just confirming this, this is essentially the point I stop recommending Xero to SMB clients. I focus on cyber security and if they can't adequately protect one of the most important data stores for SMB, then it no longer a viable solution. Also, laughable if I'm honest!

    I suspect this only has 16 votes because people don't find the feature request page/move to alternative products when they find it doesn't support it. No wonder Xero is used by business that aren't in the SMB or micro business sectors!

    This feature is overdue.. Xero/WorkflowMax integration with Microsoft Azure AD is a critical (and a now very common) security control feature. Please help your customers protect their Xero/WorkflowMax access and enable a secure and seamless login experience with Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication support.

  • Patrick Burgess commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed SSO is critical to us now and xero is the only product that now sits outside it.

  • Matthew Marcellino commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please develop so we can sure access to this system with our workflow automation. Stopping terminated people from access once they leave is a must.

  • Matthew Nunns commented  ·   ·  Report

    single sign on for Azure AD is essential to allow simpler management of credentials

  • Lauren Child commented  ·   ·  Report

    This idea is on here three times - search for SSO.

  • Shuja Najmee commented  ·   ·  Report

    Xero was just born in the cloud but never grown up. The only cloud thing about it is that is web based. Small businesses need something better than Xero and QB.

  • Earnan Kelly commented  ·   ·  Report

    How is this not even on Xero Product Teams future development plans? Should be a priority.

  • Keith Fountain commented  ·   ·  Report

    We are moving all of our apps to Microsoft SSO as one of our improvement targets for our ISO accreditation. It doesn't make sense to have multiple authenticators for different apps. We will then be able to monitor any unusual sign-in activity through a single security portal. Our FD has put a lot of work into migrating over to Xero, don't want to have to tell him to find something else because it doesn't meet with policy.

  • Arlene Pleasance commented  ·   ·  Report

    SSO with Azure AD is a must have, if this is not on Xeros road map for updates and new features then it will be a deal breaker and we will need to move to a more modern SaaS accounting solution offered by a company that manages its customers needs and that keeps up with industry standards like SSO with Microsoft.

  • David Ferguson commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a deal breaker. No SSO means we will need to look elsewhere.

  • James Casserly commented  ·   ·  Report

    Also Azure B2C directory should be supported. Then we could add Xero as an authentication provider to our app.

  • Niklas Restle commented  ·   ·  Report

    How can a tool which such sensitive information not support MS SSO?

  • Shuja Najmee commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a must have feature. It is unfair that there is no SSO integration for Xero as of now.
