What is OneLogin?
OneLogin is PLNU's official Single Sign-On (SSO) provider. In the world of countless user names and passwords, SSO provides the ability to have a single account that gives access to multiple systems. At PLNU, this means signing into your OneLogin account with one user name and one password and getting access to everything important - such as Gmail, Workday, Canvas, and many more!
How is a single account more secure?
While it is always a security best-practice to have unique passwords for all accounts, this can lead to reusing passwords across multiple accounts or forgetting what password belongs where. PLNU OneLogin accounts are secured a single complex password and at least one security factor, such as OneLogin Protect or SMS. These two practices are crucial to keeping PLNU secure!
Setting up your OneLogin Account for the First Time
When you first join PLNU you are sent an invitation email that contains your PLNU user name and a link to set up your account. This link can only be used once and is valid for a specific period of time, depending on your role. When clicking on the link, you'll create your password and set up a security factor.
