Identity Providers

An Identity Provider (IdP) is a service that authenticates your identity online, confirming who you are when you log into websites or apps. Instead of creating separate login details for each service, an IdP allows you to use a single set of credentials—like your Google or Facebook account—to access multiple platforms securely. It manages your login information centrally and verifies your identity behind the scenes, making it easier and safer for users, while also giving providers confidence in your identity for secure access.
