1Password Azure SSO Integration and Security Benefits

Integrating 1Password with Azure SSO brings a host of benefits, including enhanced security and streamlined access to your organization's resources.

With 1Password Azure SSO integration, you can leverage Azure Active Directory (AAD) to manage user identities and permissions, reducing the risk of compromised passwords and unauthorized access.

This integration also enables seamless single sign-on (SSO) across all your Azure applications, eliminating the need for multiple login credentials and passwords.

By centralizing identity management, you can better control access to sensitive data and resources, reducing the attack surface for potential security threats.

Before you begin integrating 1Password with Azure SSO, you'll need to set up and deploy 1Password SCIM Bridge.

You'll also need to have a premium subscription for the administrator that will manage the 1Password application in Azure SSO.

Make sure Provisioning users & groups is turned on in the Automated User Provisioning page of your 1Password account.

To get started, you'll need to have both 1Password and Azure SSO open and available.

You'll also need to have administrator privileges in the Azure SSO environment.

Additionally, you must be in the Administrators or Owners group in your 1Password account.

If you don't want to turn on SSO for everyone, ensure that the 1Password users who you want to provide SSO access to are members of established 1Password groups.

Your 1Password username and email address must match a valid Azure SSO user in your environment.

Here are the key requirements for a successful integration:

Setting up SSO is a crucial step in integrating 1Password with Azure. To specify who can access 1Password using SSO, you need to select the appropriate option.

You have to specify the number of days that users have to update their sign-on methods, and the default is 5 days. Consider the following: if you want users to be able to access 1Password using biometrics, you'll need to specify the number of days that users will have to use SSO to access their accounts.

If you're using a different email address in 1Password, ask them to change it. This is to ensure that the email addresses and group names in your 1Password account are identical to those in your identity provider.

Before you start, make sure you've connected your identity provider to the SCIM bridge. To do this, click Next and then click Test Connection in 1Password. You'll be redirected to PingOne SSO to sign on.

If you're using PingOne SSO, sign on using the same username that you used to sign on to 1Password. You'll be redirected back to 1Password, where you'll see a Successful Connection message.

Testing your SCIM bridge is a crucial step to ensure it's working correctly. To do this, click Go to resource group and choose the container app you created.

You'll then need to click the Application Url link to access your SCIM bridge URL. This is the URL you'll use to test your bridge.

Sign in with your bearer token to verify that your SCIM bridge is connected to your 1Password account. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a successful connection.

Alternatively, you can test the connection in 1Password by clicking Next and then clicking Test Connection. You'll be redirected to PingOne SSO to sign on.

Sign on to PingOne SSO using the same username you used to sign on to 1Password. You'll then be redirected back to 1Password, where you should see a Successful Connection message.

If the connection is successful, click Save to open the Settings page. By default, no one can use SSO to access 1Password.

Using 1Password and Azure SSO together can significantly improve your security posture. This combination can reduce your attack surface by bringing all logins under the umbrella of one strongly vetted identity.

SSO can strengthen your minimum security requirements, reduce IT support costs, and provide a better experience for workers. It can also create a centralized directory of all employees in the company to simplify onboarding and offboarding.

With 1Password, you can create strong, unique logins for every login not covered by your SSO platform. This makes it easy to manage sensitive data like payment cards, secure notes, and documents.

SSO and 1Password work together to form a line of defense that stretches across all the sites and services that anyone in your company accesses. This partnership provides comprehensive protection for businesses looking to reduce their risk and simplify security for their workforce.

Here are the benefits of using 1Password and Azure SSO together:

1Password and Azure integration allows for seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) experience for users.

With 1Password, you can easily integrate Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to enable SSO, eliminating the need for multiple passwords.

1Password supports Azure AD Conditional Access policies, ensuring that users are only granted access to sensitive resources when they meet specific conditions.

This integration also enables automatic user provisioning and deprovisioning, streamlining the process of managing user access.

By leveraging Azure AD's Identity Protection features, 1Password can detect and respond to potential security threats in real-time.
