Log in with Google authentication, SAML SSO or Microsoft Connect

This applies to all roles (Requester, Controller, Administrator, Account owner).

Updated over 3 weeks ago

The SAML SSO feature is a paid option that is not enabled by default. To activate it, contact your account manager or customer@spendesk.com.

Sign in Using Google Authentication

When you choose Google authentication, you gain the following benefits:

  • No need to worry about forgetting your password.

  • Connect to Spendesk in just two clicks.

Important:

  • If you created your account with Google authentication, you cannot log in using your email address and a password. This is because no password was ever created for your account.

  • To set up a password, sign in through Google first and then add a password to your profile.

Sign in Through Microsoft Connect

To sign in via Microsoft Connect:

  1. On the login page, select "Continue with Microsoft".

  2. Enter your Microsoft credentials in the pop-up window.

  3. Proceed to sign in.

Benefit:

  • You can access your Spendesk account through your Office 365 account with a single click!

Log in with SAML SSO

If your company uses SAML SSO, the login method depends on whether Forced SAML is enabled:

When Forced SAML is Enabled

  • You can only log in via SAML SSO.

When Forced SAML is Not Enabled

  • You can log in via SAML SSO or another method (e.g., Google authentication, email, and password).

Requirements:

  • Your email address must match between Spendesk and your company’s identity provider.

  • If you use Google authentication or Microsoft Connect, you don’t need a password to log in. For email login, use the "Forgot Password" option to reset it.
