Identity Provider (IdP)

An Identity Provider (IdP) is a trusted service that authenticates your identity when you access various applications or websites. Instead of creating and managing multiple login details for each service, you log in once with your IdP, which then confirms who you are to other systems. Think of it as a digital passport issuer that verifies your identity across multiple platforms, simplifying access while maintaining security. Examples include Google, Facebook, or corporate authentication services. This setup streamlines user login experiences and enhances security by centralizing identity verification.
