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.

I’ve recently followed up with Xero Support regarding this SSO feature, and it appears the current development focus is on Microsoft Entra ID. While that’s great for organizations using Microsoft’s identity platform, many of us have been waiting for a vendor-neutral, standards-based SSO solution that works with a wide range of identity providers.
To better serve all customers, I believe Xero should support SAML 2.0 and/or OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication, along with SCIM for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning. This would allow seamless integration with Okta, Ping Identity, Auth0, Google Workspace, and other providers — avoiding vendor lock-in and meeting enterprise security requirements.

To better serve all customers, I believe Xero should support SAML 2.0 and/or OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication, along with SCIM for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning. This would allow seamless integration with multiple providers, avoiding vendor lock-in and meeting enterprise security requirements.
