Signing in with oAuth

If your organization has enabled sign-in using oAuth (Google, Microsoft, Yammer, etc.) you will also see the ability to sign by clicking the corresponding icon shown in the login area: 

Signing on with SSO

Ensure that the email address associated with your SSO account exactly matches the email address set up with your Kudos account. 

If your organization uses offers both SSO and the option to sign in with an email & password combination, please reference this article.
