# Authentication

The default authentication method to access your Tenants in Onum is a combination of email + password. However, admin users can activate the following extra authentication methods:

* [Two-factor authentication](/administration/global-settings/tenant/authentication/two-factor-authentication.md) - Add an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide additional verification beyond just their credentials.&#x20;
* [Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML](/administration/global-settings/tenant/authentication/single-sign-on-sso-with-saml.md) - Simplify user authentication using SAML. Users will be redirected to their identity provider to verify their identity, without needing a separate username and password.
* [Single Sign-On (SSO) with OpenID](/administration/global-settings/tenant/authentication/single-sign-on-sso-with-openid.md) - Simplify user authentication using OpenID Connect. Users will be redirected to their identity provider to verify their identity, without needing a separate username and password.
