Login using Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On (SSO) makes logging in to BrioHR faster and more secure. With SSO, you don't need to remember a separate password for BrioHR. Instead, you log in with the same email and password you already use for your company's Google, Microsoft, or Okta account.
BrioHR currently supports SSO through:
- Google (Gmail or Google Workspace)
- Microsoft (Outlook or Office 365 accounts)
- Okta (Enterprise identity provider)
Your HR/Admin can configure which SSO provider is enabled for your company.
