Identity Provider

An Identity Provider (IdP) is a service that securely manages and verifies your digital identity, such as your username and password. When you try to access a website or app, the IdP confirms who you are without revealing your private details to the service you're using. This setup allows you to use one login for multiple platforms, improving convenience and security. Common examples include Google or Facebook login options, where they act as the trusted authority that authenticates your identity across various online services.
