Select the login method for managed Meta accounts in your organization

This article is only applicable to admins with relevant permissions.
By default, if a person’s managed Meta account uses a domain that’s included in your SSO settings, then the person will log in with SSO. If not, then they will log in with a password.
However, you can change an account’s authentication method to either:
  • Password only: This user will always use a password to log in, even if SSO is enabled.
  • Single sign-on preferred: SSO will be used when available. Otherwise, this user will log in with a password instead.
Note: If your accounts are synced with an identity provider, then any changes you make may be overwritten.
