Federated Identity Management

Federated Identity Management (FIM) allows users to access multiple different services or websites with a single set of login credentials, such as a username and password. Instead of creating separate accounts for each service, FIM securely links these services through a trusted system, often managed by a third party or an identity provider. This streamlines login processes, enhances security by reducing password proliferation, and improves user convenience. For example, using your Google or Facebook account to sign in to various apps or websites is a common implementation of federated identity management.
