   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).

   So in 2022 you identified that your customer base wants SSO, and in 2024 confirm no commitment or dev has been done for it. Major disappointment!! Your app is going the way of the dinosaur. Its time to catch up to the most BASIC app standards, or you will die off. Who is running this ship? They need a wake-up call!

   In 2023 this is now a basic requirement for org security. SAML 2.0 to integrate with major Identity Providers, including Azure. Xero, step it up and get this done!
