Hi everyone, we appreciate all the feedback and votes on this idea. We know using Microsoft Entra ID SSO is now common practice for some businesses and being able to access Xero via a native integration with Entra ID would streamline how your teams log in and get set up in Xero, as well as help in managing access for larger teams and keeping things secure.
Our product team have been working with a small limited group of Partners to develop SSO capabilities. Though we can't give any definite timelines yet, we’ll keep this thread updated with news. Thanks

It's genuinely disappointing that this has sat as a feature request for over a decade with no real progress for a company the size of Xero, serving businesses that take security seriously, that's hard to justify. Passwordless is where the entire industry has been heading for years now. Microsoft, Google, NIST, and virtually every major security vendor actively recommend passwordless authentication (FIDO2/passkeys, federated identity) over passwords, because passwords remain the single biggest attack surface for credential theft, phishing, and reuse. Still relying on a standalone Xero password, even with MFA bolted on, is already behind where the industry has moved. Native Entra ID/SAML SSO would be a first step, but Xero should be aiming at passwordless as the real end goal, not just SSO as a checkbox. At this point it's not a hard technical problem it's a prioritization failure, and one that's costing Xero credibility with the exact customers it should want to keep.
