    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:

    Still waiting for Xero to take security seriously in 2025.

    The listed purpose of this idea, as above, is "It makes Microsoft users easily log into Xero". Yes, it does but that is not the main issue here. SSO allows Xero logons to be restricted to work provided secure devices only, via features like M365 conditional access. SSO also means that when a user is offboarded from an organization e.g. via M365 then their logon to Xero is automatically blocked. Without SSO there are potentially users in Xero who still have logons to Xero, but they should not have that access.

    Head of technology is Diya Jolly. I just posted the following on her LinkedIn page under an AI announcement. "How about focusing on basic security instead of AI. Xero does not support Azure SSO which is a requested feature since 2013 on the Xero forums"

    This is critical for IT security. It is very disappointing that Xero does not support this feature. SSO allows for automatic user offboarding, so there is no risk that an offboarded user still has access to Xero. It also allows Conditional Access to block the usage of Xero on unsecure personal laptops
