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.
We support SSO for Google, Microsoft, ClassLink and SAML. If you are interested in SAML SSO, please refer to this article.
