Zoho adds single sign-on to their apps
Zoho has just made their suite of online applications a lot more convenient to use by inmplementing a single sign-on (SSO) service for their core applications. Sign in once to any of these applications and you can access any of the others without having to re-authenticate. In a nice nod to security, you can select which applications you have an account with sould use the SSO credentials and which should require a separate login.
SSO is currently available for Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, Zoho Show, Zoho Planner, Zoho Creator and Zoho Chat. According to the post on the Zoho Blog, additional services will be added to the authentication service over time. There are a number of scenarios in the post which explains how your existing accounts will be concatenated into a single set of user credentials.
