HOW THALES CAN HELP
What are BYOI and Social Login?
Social login and BYOI (sometimes referred to as BYOID or federated authentication) empower users to effortlessly log in to your platform using their existing credentials from various sources, including social media accounts, email providers, or third-party identity platforms.
Let’s explore these concepts individually:
BYOI
- Enables authentication using credentials from diverse sources like accounts, email providers, or third-party identity platforms.
- Offers users flexibility in selecting their preferred identity provider for a personalized authentication experience.
- Emphasizes user autonomy and convenience by allowing individuals to use existing accounts without creating new ones for each service or platform.
Social Login
- Enables access to websites or applications using existing social media credentials (e.g., Facebook, Google, X, Apple, LinkedIn).
- Utilizes OAuth or OpenID Connect protocols for authentication, granting limited user information access with consent.
- Commonly streamlines registration and login processes, minimizing user friction for a seamless onboarding experience
How BYOI and Social Login Works
Integrating BYOID and Social Login into your Identity and Access Management (IAM) processes provides a solution for managing user identities across various channels, decentralizes identity governance. There are three layers contributing to the process:
User Initiation
Users initiate the authentication process by selecting their preferred identity provider or opting for BYOID.
Authentication
The platform redirects users to the chosen identity provider, where they authenticate themselves using their credentials.
Authorization
Upon successful authentication, the identity provider sends back relevant user information to your platform, granting access based on predefined authorization rules.

When it comes to identity management, B2B resides at the most complex end of the spectrum. That’s because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We are not merely discussing the lifecycle management of a single type of identity, such as customers or employees. Instead, we are faced with the challenge of effectively managing an array of diverse identities, from partners to gig workers and many more, each vital to your business, and each with its unique lifecycle and engagement requirements.
