• SSO (Single Sign On): Why Does It Suck So Often?

  by Cynthia Johanson, Matthew Rothenberg, Joseph Smarr and Matt Kelly

  Single sign-on was a great promise: let the big identity providers handle authentication/identity, and your website gets all the benefits of a streamlined registration process for free! Anyone who has ever tried to implement it however, knows it never really works that way. In the real world, it’s a lot more messy: especially when you add in mobile, multiple providers and mixing it up with an existing account system. We’ll discuss best practices for making it work, handling the gnarly edge cases with security and identity issues, and how to make sure the user experience is as painless as possible.Panel will include platform representatives from Facebook, Twitter, and Google.
