If you are tired of asking your users to create yet another account at yet another site, fret not! Padlet has something for you that is convenient as well as secure.
Enabling third-party login, otherwise known as single sign-on (SSO), is a secure and easy way to give access to your account. You can use your existing credentials with Google, Microsoft or ClassLink by turning on third-party login for Padlet for Schools.

Enable third-party login
- To enable third-party login, log into your Padlet for Schools Owner account.
- From the dashboard, click on the Settings cog icon in the top-right corner > select the school account (at the top) > Access.
- Under 'Log in options,' choose which options you'd prefer to offer the members of your account. Choose as many options as you'd like - between the traditional email and password or one of our SSO options.
Once you've made your choices, your login page will include SSO!
