"Basic Right"? Have words lost meaning? At best, this is an opinion or a wish.

It's critical for national security for underfunded sectors.

It's not really an "ask", FedGov through NIST / CISA is requiring it.

There's very little content here—it's basically just an ad.

I will add the obligatory https://sso.tax

> If companies claim to “take your security seriously”, then SSO should be available as a feature that is either:

>> - part of the core product, or

>> - an optional paid extra for a reasonable delta, or attached to a price tier, but with a reasonably small gap between the non-SSO tier and SSO tiers.

>> - Many vendors charge 2x, 3x, or 4x the base product pricing for access to SSO, which disincentivizes its use and encourages poor security practices.

I dont follow the logic. Food and shelter are a human rights, but that doesnt mean you can walk into a restaurant and insist that food be served at $dream price, or walk into Home Depot and take premium plywood and pay basic/entry level price.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and (checks notes) Single Sign On.

Strangely, their Pricing page shows they don't offer SSO until the third pricing tier, at $99/user-month.

locking people into your identity management +sso moat is all the rage these days

Is this some kind of satire? They might provide the feature in their selfhosted OSS offering, but they "paywall" it in their cloud offering behind $84/user.

Sure, cool for the self-hosted guys but orgs that use their cloud offering better pay up. :-)
