Log In Methods
Last updated: March 11, 2026
Log in methods determine how your team accesses Bridgit. Basic Authentication (username and password) is available to all customers by default. Single Sign-On (SSO) allows your team to access Bridgit using your organization's existing identity provider credentials, simplifying login for your users.
Bridgit supports the following SSO authentication methods:
Microsoft OAuth 2.0
Google OAuth 2.0
SAML
Below you'll find detailed setup instructions for Microsoft and Okta SAML configurations.
Eligibility
SSO authentication eligibility is evaluated based on your account tier and on a case-by-case basis. Contact your Customer Success Manager to confirm eligibility and begin setup.
