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:
  1. Use a third party service to create your Zoho acount
  2. 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)
  3. Use a third party service as an alternate sign-in mode along with other sign-in modes
Alert
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.
