Single Sign On (SSO)

Single Sign-On explained
Single sign-on (SSO) is a session and user authentication service that permits you to access multiple applications using one set of login credentials, your zID, and password. SSO allows you to sign into University services or applications by providing your credentials once.
When an application or service exists on the Azure SSO platform, the sign-on process alters slightly and听Multi-Factor Authentication听(MFA) applies, providing additional security.
Looking to change or reset your zID password? Go to Your zID & password.
SSO applications will require you to:
- enter your account in the following format:听zID@ad.unsw.edu.au听
- enter your zID password
- once you have signed into an SSO application you may be prompted to verify your sign-in using your authenticator.
Any subsequent SSO applications accessed may not require you to sign in again for 30 days.听
Signing out
For security reasons, when using a public or shared computer, you must sign out of applications when you have finished using them. If you do not, then other users may have the opportunity to access your account.
- If you wish to sign out of all SSO-enabled applications in your current browser, click on or copy and paste this link:听听
- If you would like to just sign out of the application you are using, click the logout or sign out button in that application.
