In order to login to NordLayer apps or Control Panel, users can authenticate their identity via Google SSO.

Here’s how to set up Google SSO integration:

2. Click on the **Google** slider button.

**Note**:

- Single-Sign-On (SSO) will be enabled for the Control Panel, VPN apps, and Browser Extension
- You can have multiple Single-Sign-On (SSO) methods enabled
- It is possible to remove email & password authentication, leaving SSO as the only option to log in to the account
