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…

Implementing Zero Trust for my clients, Xero is the only SaaS in most which doesn't have SSO - and it is business critical for security! No update from Xero about plans on this in almost a year - surely there's some progress towards such a critical feature. People need to share this 12 YEAR OLD FEATURE REQUEST to try and get more traction - 12 years is long enough to solve a problem which only becomes more critical as threats evolve.
Xero is currently not compatible with Essential Eight ML2.

Thanks for your recent comments, and for continuing to support this idea, everyone. We appreciate the passion here, and I’m sorry it’s taken a while to return with another update.
Since our last post, we’ve made progress with passkey authentication through mobile access. Looking ahead, we also intend to explore desktop passkeys later this year.
When this work does get picked up, Yubikey passkeys will be considered, however we can’t confirm at this stage whether they’ll definitely be included. As soon as we have more concrete news to share, we’ll update you on this thread.

Everyone voting for this should also vote for SSO. Crazy that they're happy to increase price without one acceptable login method that meets cybersecurity requirements in Australia. I have customers looking to move away from Xero for these features.

If not offering SSO, this is essential.
As with Joel's comment, I'm also an IT provider and have clients (and myself) who would love to be part of the beta when it becomes available. Thankyou for finally listening to the feedback on this. Also please don't join the https://sso.tax wall of shame - make this available to all plans, or at least not exclusively on the highest tiers
