Login - Single Sign-on (SSO) across Xero Products
Would be nice when moving from Xero to Xero HQ and Xero Central to have it retain your login so you do not have to login to each site separately.

Thanks for sharing your interest in single sign on across Xero's products. This is available currently across many areas or Xero. For example if you are logged in and working in Xero, then move across to Xero Central(our support hub) you may need to click the login button in the top right of the screen but if you're session hasn't ended you should find the page should refresh and automatically log you in.
We appreciate wanting a smoother login experience that's recognised across all Xero products and will share if there are any improvements planned around this with you all, here.

Cybersecurity - Phishing resistant MFA & logging of failed MFA.
The Australian government publishes a set of 8 essential security measures. In order to progress beyond maturity level 1, platforms need to provide central logging of failed multifactor attempts and phishing resistant methods. Xero currently provides neither and can achieve this via SSO. Please add single sign on support with advice per https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/maintaining-devices-and-systems/system-hardening-and-administration/system-hardening/implementing-multi-factor-authentication -

Add Single Sign on to Xero using SAML and allow it to be linked to Azure or other SSO Services

Alex Steer,
If Xero did actually prioritise the implementation of product ideas based on the number of votes they received, it would not have just removed the SSO via the Google Workspace SAML feature.
I am completely gobsmacked that Xero has chosen to remove a security option from a platform that is, in many organisations, one of the highest-risk platforms concerning data theft.

Helene, Calvin,
Xero prioritise ideas against the number of votes. Please join the several existing requests for this so we aren't turning 1 loud voice into small whispers.

When we are logged into Xero and we come over to Product Ideas, we need to log in again for some reason. Can we have this so when we are signed into Xero that login transfers over and we don't need to sign in again?

Team Xero,
It is imperative that Xero implements Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Single Sign-on (SSO) capability.
In 2024, it is a considerable security issue not having this, posing risk to Xero customers.
Happy Xero customers should not be forced to consider alternative competitor platforms as a result of this vulnerability.
Please recognise that many organisations require Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, such as Okta and other SSO providers.
Please address this concern for us ASAP and confirm a date for when this capability will be available.
Thank you. -

SSO/idp integration
Can you please urgently advise if you will offer SSO/idp integration for XERO portal this year? Currently you are not meeting corporate security standards!
Thank you -

Enterprise grade single sign-on (SSO) capability is required. Not having this capability represents a significant risk of inappropriate access to client data. It also increases the administration cost of administering new staff and leaving staff.

When we are signed in to Xero and go to access Product ideas we need to log in again, why don't we just have a single sign on process?
