MyLogin - Getting Started with Applications - Saved Passwords

Single Sign-On (SSO) v Saved Passwords

There are two types of apps you can add to MyLogin:

SSO applications | These are already connected to MyLogin, so setup is quick. You just need to tell the app which user accounts to use.

Saved Passwords applications | These aren't yet connected directly to MyLogin. They need a few extra setup steps before your users can sign in through the MyLogin Dashboard.

This article explains how to set up Saved Passwords applications. For instructions on adding SSO apps to your dashboard, click here.

Saved Passwords 

We want to help you access as many apps as possible through MyLogin, even if they haven't fully integrated with our platform yet. To do this, we offer the option to use Saved Passwords.

Saved Passwords apps aren't directly integrated with MyLogin, so they require a few extra steps to set up. To use these apps, your users must have the MyLogin Chrome extension installed (it works on any Chromium-based browser). You can find the extension for Chrome users [here] and for Edge users [here]. For guidance on deploying the extension, check out the instructions for [Google users] and [Microsoft users].

Alternatively, you can manually install the extension for individual users by visiting the Chrome Web Store.

Once the extension is deployed, you can use the MyLogin App Directory to search for Saved Passwords - compatible apps. This article assumes you’ve already added the application to your organisation (refer to this help article for assistance).

6. Navigate to ‘My Apps <> Apps’ and scroll down to your Saved Passwords applications.
7. Select an application tile you want to configure and click on it
8. Navigate to the Saved Passwords configuration section.
9. As a fast, efficient way to keep user data up-to-date while maintaining full control and flexibility, you can download a CSV file containing all your users simple click 'Download Template', allowing you to update their credentials in bulk. This is especially useful during new term setups, onboarding large groups, or making widespread changes. (Otherwise you can update on an individual user basis see below.)
10. To be more granular in who has access to the application, you can filter by user type, groups or classes.
11. Add the usernames, passwords, and any other required information (e.g. "nickname") for the users who need access to the app. The CSV file will already include the necessary fields. After that, just upload the CSV back to MyLogin.
12. For some applications, you may also need to include a school code or other identifier. If required, you can add this information as shown below.
13. Once this is done, your users will be able to sign in to the application directly from the dashboard with just one click, similar to how they access SSO-integrated apps.

9. You can also update credentials for individual users. At the bottom of the Saved Passwords configuration page, you’ll find a table of your users. You can filter by class, group, user type, or by users with missing credentials. Once you've located the user, click 'Edit' to update their credentials.

Do your students or teachers already know their passwords, but find it hard to remember and log in each time? MyLogin can help.

When a student or teacher clicks on a Saved Passwords app tile in MyLogin for the first time and their login details aren’t saved yet, they’ll see a simple box to enter their username and password. This only needs to be done once.

After that, MyLogin securely saves their login details. From then on, they can simply click the app to log in instantly, without needing to type anything.
