The Linux Foundation's SSO service provides secure access and protects the identities of all its community members. The Linux Foundation's SSO service secures systems and services like Events Registration, Training and Certifications, JIRA, Confluence, Crowdfunding, Mentorship, EasyCLA, Insights, and Security.
To create an account and log in, you need an email address. You can sign in using third-party authentication service providers such as Google, Facebook, GitHub, and LinkedIn.
When you log in to a program or a tool for a project, you will likely be asked to create your LF account.
The LF account you create will also allow you to authenticate using services like Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, and GitHub, in addition to your username and password.
For example, if you sign up for or log in to your mailing list via the Groups.io web portal, you will be asked to log in through the new SSO interface and create an LF account if you don't have one.
The SSO helps to secure your access to a service, whether it is registering for an event, subscribing to a mailing list, or accessing a community meeting or webinar.
In addition to increased security, it is also a greater convenience. Since you already use the identity provider for your common workflows, you have one less password to remember and can often sign in quickly, depending on the browser or client you are using.
You can view emails associated with your LF Account at your Individual Dashboard at https://myprofile.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/.
On the Individual Dashboard, you can also:
View which email addresses are associated with your LF Account
View the username for your LF Account
View the Identity Providers (IdPs) you have enabled
