# Application Login Bypasses SSO

Detects users logging in to an application directly instead of SSO. Preventing logins with a username and password ensures that users cannot bypass your SSO system.

**Recommended Actions**

Users should only be logging in to an application directly if this is an administrative initiative to respond to an SSO outage or other problem. If this is not the case, please open a security ticket to investigate.

**Compatibility**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.oort.io/understanding-check-failures/oort-insights/identity-posture-management-insights/application-login-bypasses-sso.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
