Basic SSO Authentication |
Learn how to log in to the TiDB Cloud console via your Google, GitHub, or Microsoft account. |
This document describes how to log in to the TiDB Cloud console via basic Single Sign-on (SSO) authentication, which is quick and convenient.
TiDB Cloud supports SSO authentication for Google, GitHub, and Microsoft accounts. If you log in to TiDB Cloud via SSO authentication, because your ID and credentials are stored on the third-party Google, GitHub, and Microsoft platforms, you will not be able to modify your account password and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) using the TiDB console.
Note:
If you want to log into TiDB Cloud through username and password, see Password Authentication.
