Broward Single Sign On: What Is It And How To Use It?

Broward public schools is a large Education district of Broward County, Florida, USA; it has at least 327 schools, 15,000 teachers, and more than 200,000 students. These teachers and students use a lot of different online apps as educational resources.

Having dozens of different online resources can be a hassle, especially for students, because you need to remember different credentials for each app. Remembering this many different passwords is quite difficult, so most people either write them down on paper or in a word or excel file or set one password for all accounts.

Both of these approaches are unsafe because if someone has access to the file or page where you store your passwords, they can easily access your online resources. And if you use one password for all, anyone who knows your password can access any of your online resources. To solve this problem, Broward County Public Schools use Broward Single Sign On; this article will discuss what it is and how to use it.
