What is federated sign-in?
Federated Sign-in allows you to access your Zoho account using third-party services. Via federated sign-in, you can:
- Use a third-party service to create your Zoho acount
- Use a third-party service as the only mode to sign in to your account (which allows you to not create a password at all)
- Use a third-party service as an alternate sign-in mode along with other sign-in modes
Note: If your organization's policy has restrictions on federated sign-in, you won't be allowed to link your third party account with your Zoho account.

Why am I shown the error "Your organization does not allow federated sign-in"?
When you try to sign in via federated sign-in, you might be shown an error "Your organization does not allow federated sign-in". This might be due to one of the following reasons:
- Your administrator may have enabled SAML-based SSO for your organization. If that's the case, see how to sign-in using SAML.
- Your administrator may have enforced restriction for using federated sign-in as a sign-in mode. If that's the case, sign in to your account with your password.
For any clarification, contact your organization administrator.
