Things like Okta, OneLogin, GCP, AWS, Auth0 or Keycloak (self-hosted). A lot of products nowaday offers SSO integrations but often unfortunately at the highest tiers - see https://sso.tax/

#33> gets very pricey with 10k users With that many users you don't pay the advertised prices. You schedule a call and they make sure you get an affordable offer. > The average employee likely has 10-20 (hopefully) different sets of credentials that they must maintain and update as necessary Time for azure, auth0, okta, or some other sso provider to just get rid of the passwords?
Even if they charged $0.50/per user, that would be $5k/month. I could go as a consultant and charge half of that to setup vaultwarden integrated with their AD for maybe 2 lazy days, and offer a support contract for $500/month. It's not even that much of rare skill. I'd guess you can randomly selected /r/selfhosted users and I'd give 10% of odds to find someone who has done it already and would even offer to do for less.
Yet, I think that most managers would simply prefer to go through all the negotiation meetings, all the internal procurement process just so they can justify the big boy expenses.

#34> The average employee likely has 10-20 (hopefully) different sets of credentials that they must maintain and update as necessary That's your red flag right there. All identities that are tied to individual people should be connected to SSO in some way, then there will be no juggling of passwords at all on the individual-person level. Then you only need some 2FA solution on top in your identity provider, for instance…
SSO seems like the only way SaaS companies can make money, and what this HN post tells me is that even enterprises with 10k employees (!) still find that to be a little out of their price range. The state of the industry is kind of crazy, but that's why people are looking for an enterprise 1password account. Cheaper to pay them once than to pay 1000% markup on every SaaS you use.

#35LastPass is great. We can share credentials and secrets through it. There's a feature where you can even share the login to a site on it, but they can't view the password - only lastpass can fill it up.
We use LastPass and I hate it.

Can't really agree with that. For me, LastPass is a huge annoyance (it wants to fill in passwords on pages that these passwords definitely don't belong to, and it prompts you to save passwords over and over again with no "don't save passwords on this page" checkbox), and its UI is not really good either (e.g. the floating "+" icon in the vault - if you want to create a new folder you have to hover over it , for other…
I can see how it might not be the solution you want for home but at work I'm just trying to get things done and that unfortunately involves a large number of passwords that can't easily be federated into an SSO like okta because they span businesses clients and companies. I don't understand the hate for LastPass, for me it just works (tm)

I'm really not cut out to work for a big corporation. Even if they charged $0.50/per user, that would be $5k/month.

#38We use Keeper, and I hate the UX. Would much rather use 1Password or BitWarden, but alas, the IT powers that be have spoken. Better than nothing. We do share creds through it, so that’s nice.
