Why should you use SSO ?
With Single Sign-On, you can use your company's login to enter Sherpany. Therefore, you don’t have to remember a separate password for Sherpany or go through an additional Two-Factor-Authentication.
Also, re-authentication after inactivity in Sherpany happens automatically with SSO - you don’t have to reenter your login data.
A login with Sherpany password and 2FA takes about 20 seconds. With SSO, only one click is needed to log in.
In the end, Single Sign-on helps you safe time and nerves.
How do you switch from Sherpany Login to SSO ?
If Single Sign-On is enabled for your organisation, using SSO is simple.
- Open the SSO URL (often [yourcompany].my.sherpany.com) in your browser.
a. If you are already logged in to your organisation’s system, you will directly be logged into Sherpany.
b. If you are not yet logged in to your organisation’s system, you will be guided to the login page of your organisation. There, you will have to log in with the login data of your company account.
Hint: Save the URL as a favorite in your browser.
If you don’t know your company’s SSO URL, please get in touch with our support team.
- Open your Sherpany mobile app on your mobile device. If you have the app not yet installed, take a look on this page. If you have not logged in to the mobile app yet, jump directly to step 4.
