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

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
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.
