SAML allows users to authenticate with a central Identity Provider (IdP) and access multiple applications using those same credentials. In the context of Factors, SAML login lets users bypass creating separate logins for Factors and instead leverage their existing IdP credentials for authentication.

Factors supports SAML-based login with most of the Identity Providers (IdP) like Okta, Azure, OneLogin, etc. Depending on the IdP that your organization uses, you can find specific instructions on how to enable SAML login using your IdP below.
