Summary

The article argues that Single Sign-On (SSO) should be considered baseline security rather than an enterprise-tier feature, criticizing SaaS companies that gate SSO behind expensive plans. It explains how SSO reduces security risks like credential sprawl, orphaned accounts, and phishing, while being inexpensive to implement with modern libraries. The author advocates for making security features accessible to all teams, not just large enterprises.
