   Thanks for your feedback on Single Sign-On(SSO). We last updated this idea in October 2025, and we’re sorry it’s taken some time for us to provide another. We will do our best to keep you more informed of progress as it continues.

   Where SSO is today

   We’ve built an SSO capability for accountant and bookkeeper partner practices using OpenID Connect (OIDC). We ran a closed beta with a small group of partners, which is now complete, and those partners are connected. We’re still confirming how and when other accounting and bookkeeping partners can access it. SSO isn’t currently available to businesses or IT providers. We’ll share access details in a future update once they’re confirmed.

   What we’re looking at next

   We’re exploring what it would take to offer SSO to small businesses. Business needs differ from accountant and bookkeeper partners’, so we’re looking at:

   • how a business and its users are set up in Xero
   • which businesses would qualify
   • how we’d check a company owns its email domain
   • how onboarding and support would work

   Help us understand your needs

   If you run or work in a small business, an accounting or bookkeeping practice, or are an IT provider, please take our short survey. It will give us a sense of how you sign in today, which identity provider you use (if any) and what you need from SSO. It takes about 5 minutes and closes Friday 11 December 2026.

   We don’t have a timeline to share yet. We’ll share an update on the survey findings in the new year (2027).

   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.

   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.
