When an organization is dealing with multiple SaaS applications and wants to centralize authentication, the first move is to choose an Identity Provider (IdP). This sets the foundation for: Single Sign-On (SSO) across applications Integration with protocols like SAML and OAuth Centralized user management and access control
E.g. the below IdP tools that can access into Microsoft 365 , Zoom, ServiceNow etc: Microsoft Azure AD (now Entra ID) Okta OneLogin Google Cloud Identity Ping Identity Keycloak
I don't see how Identity Provider ties into reducing the number of credentials that a employee would maintain. I would go with password vaulting, because the vault controls who gets access to credentials.
