SSO v Saved Passwords
SSO applications are apps directly integrated with MyLogin, requiring no additional setup beyond informing the app about the accounts you want to set up. Saved Passwords applications have not yet integrated directly with MyLogin and therefore require additional steps to set your users up to use the MyLogin Dashboard to sign in with.
SSO Applications - Direct Integration
For any SSO application that you add to MyLogin that utilises direct integration, you will also need an approved connection to that application on your Wonde School Portal. If you do not have an approved connection for an application, then you should ask the application developer to request access to your school data via Wonde so that you can approve the connection.
- You can find applications that are SSO enabled through the MyLogin App Directory. Simply navigate to the App Directory in the dashboard to view the available apps.
- Click on an application to find out more about it.
- If you are looking for an app your school already works with. Simply let the app know that you want to use MyLogin as the sign in method and they should be able to get your users set up for use with MyLogin, via the Wonde data.
- Now click ‘Add to my apps’.
- The app will now appear in your ‘My Apps’ section and on your student and teacher dashboards so users can begin to log in to these apps using MyLogin.
- Your users can now sign into the MyLogin dashboard and sign into their applications with one simple click.
- You can designate which user groups have the app available to them on their app dashboard by using the 'Display Rules.' Select the groups of users you want to have the app on their dashboard. Any member of any group that have the app toggled on will be see the app on their MyLogin app dashboard. Find out more here.

Saved Passwords
We want to make sure you can access as many applications as possible using MyLogin - even if they haven’t yet integrated directly with our platform. To facilitate this we also offer the option to use Saved Passwords.
Saved Passwords applications have not yet integrated directly with MyLogin and therefore require additional steps to set your users up to use the MyLogin Dashboard to sign in with. In order for you to use Saved Passwords applications through MyLogin your users must have the MyLogin chrome extension installed (this extension can be utilised on any Chromium browser), which can be found here for Chrome users and here for Edge users. Advice on deploying the extension to your users can be found here for Google and Microsoft.
You can also deploy the MyLogin extension manually to your Chrome or browser by visiting the Chrome Web Store, but this will only install the extension for the individual user.
Having deployed the extension for your users you can use the App Directory to search for Saved Password ready applications.
- Scroll down in the app directory to see the Saved Passwords applications.
- If you are looking for an app your school already works with. Simply search for the app and click ‘add to my apps’.
- Navigate to ‘My Apps’ and to the Saved Passwords menu.
- Click the 'configure' icon on the application.
- Go to ‘My apps’, click configure and navigate to the Saved Passwords configuration section.
- Here you can download a CSV that contains all your users and their Wonde IDs.
- Add the usernames and passwords for all your users. Then upload the CSV back to MyLogin.
- For some applications you may also need to add a school code or other identifier. You can add that as below if applicable.
- Once this is complete, your users should be able to sign into the application directly from the dashboard, with one click, just as they can for the SSO integrated applications.
Do your students, or their teachers, already know their passwords?
If your students or teachers already know their credentials, but it's tricky to remember them and get them logged every time - MyLogin can also help.
When a student or teacher clicks on a Saved Passwords app tile in MyLogin and their login isn't saved yet, they'll see a simple box to enter their username and password. This only needs to happen the very first time they use that app through MyLogin.
After that, MyLogin remembers their login details safely. This means from then on students and teachers can click the app and get right in, without having to type anything.
