## Description

This plugin upgrades the standard **WordPress login** forms with one powered by 
[Authress](https://authress.io) that enables:

 * **Universal authentication**
    - Over 40 social login providers
    - Enterprise connections (SAML, Office 365, Google Apps, and more)
    - Customer configurable SSO connections
 * **Ultra secure**
    - User identity
    - Security access policies
    - Mitigate brute force attacks

Which includes:
 – Azure AD and B2C – Office 365 – WSO2 – Ping Identity – Okta –
Auth0 – Keyclock – LinkedIn – Salesforce – Twitter – Google Workspace – Yahoo – 
Salesforce – Hubspot – Steam – Slack – And any custom OAuth2.1, OpenID, or SAML 
provider

With **SSO Login**, you can automatically support business and enterprise customers
that have important security requirements for their users to use your site and platform.

### Technical Notes

By using this plugin you are delegating the site authentication and profile handling
to Authress. That means that you won’t need to use the WordPress database to authenticate
users and the default WordPress login forms will be upgraded to support the new 
SSO Login flow.

Please see our [knowledge base](https://authress.io/knowledge-base/) for more information
on how Authress authenticates and manages your users.

#### Migrating Existing Users

Authress allows multiple authentication providers. You can have social providers
like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, a database of users and passwords (just like WordPress),
or you can use an Enterprise directories like, Office365, Google Apps, SAML, OpenID,
OAuth2.1. All those authentication providers are supported and more.

### How to customize this plugin

This plugin provides extension points to make it easier to configure it exactly 
as you need. Check out the full docs:

in your theme. Use the [`login_enqueue_scripts`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/login_enqueue_scripts/)
hook to style the form on wp-login.php, [`wp_enqueue_scripts`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_enqueue_scripts/)
to style widgets and shortcodes, or both to affect the form in all locations.

### Which authentication providers are supported?

All social providers and business login directories are supported. For more details,
