This article describes how to log in to the Cerby web app to access your workspace and manage your items.

Who can use this feature?

• Workspace Owners, Super Admins, Admins, Users, Guest Users, and Login-Only users

As a user with any workspace role, you can log in to the Cerby web app to access your workspace and manage your items.

The Cerby web app is the primary browser-based client for Cerby. From your workspace, you can streamline and protect your account logins, manage secrets, and collaborate with your team.

The login process is different for workspaces integrated or federated with an identity provider (IdP) such as Okta or Entra ID, with social login or third-party authentication such as Google, and local workspaces:

• IdP-based or federated workspaces: All users, except Guest Users, authenticate via single sign-on (SSO) through their corporate login portal. Guest Users authenticate with login credentials managed by Cerby.

• Social login or third-party authentication: All users authenticate via single sign-on (SSO) through their external identity portal.

• Local user workspaces: All users authenticate with login credentials managed by Cerby.
