Breathe HR has released a new update that allows employees to log in using their Microsoft account. It’s a simple change with a big impact, reducing friction, strengthening security, and making day‑to‑day HR tasks easier for everyone.

Why Single Sign‑On (SSO)? 

For many organisations, employees are juggling multiple systems, multiple passwords, and multiple support tickets. 
Single Sign‑On solves this by allowing users to authenticate once, through a trusted identity provider such as Microsoft and then seamlessly access everything they need. 

For HR and IT teams, this reduces time spent dealing with password resets and access issues.  

For employees, it removes one of the most common barriers to getting started each day.

The Benefits of SSO for Your Organisation 

Enabling SSO across your digital workplace unlocks several practical advantages: 

• Stronger security 
  Authentication is handled through Microsoft’s enterprise‑grade identity platform. 

• Fewer IT support requests 
  No more forgotten passwords or repeated reset requests. 

• Faster onboarding 
  New starters can access Breathe HR immediately using their Microsoft login. 

• Cleaner offboarding 
  When a Microsoft account is disabled, access to Breathe HR is automatically removed. 

• A smoother user experience 
  One login. One identity. Far less friction. 

This update makes HR systems feel more integrated with the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Why iThink 365 Connect Sync 

While SSO solves the login problem, many organisations still face a bigger challenge behind the scenes of keeping Microsoft 365 accounts updated as people join, change roles and personal details or leave. 

That’s where iThink Connect Sync comes in. 

Connect Sync automates the lifecycle of Microsoft 365 accounts using Breathe HR as the source of truth. This means: 

• Accounts are automatically created or disabled 

• Licensing stays accurate and consistent 

• HR data and Microsoft 365 stay in real‑time sync 

• Onboarding and offboarding become faster, cleaner, and more secure 

It removes manual work, reduces security risks, and gives both HR and IT teams confidence that access is always correct.

Why Connect Sync + Breathe HR + SSO Is a Strong Combination 

Each element brings value on its own but together, they transform the employee lifecycle: 

Breathe HR 

Holds accurate, up‑to‑date HR records and drives your people processes. 

Microsoft SSO 

Delivers a seamless login experience backed by secure authentication. 

iThink Connect Sync 

Automates the creation, updates, and removal of Microsoft 365 accounts using Breathe HR data. 

Combined, they create an end‑to‑end workflow where: 

• A new starter is added in Breathe HR 

• Their Microsoft 365 account is automatically created 

• They log in instantly via Microsoft SSO 

• When they leave, access to both systems is removed automatically 

It’s a joined‑up process that reduces admin, improves security, and gives employees a smooth experience from day one.

If you’d like to explore how Connect Sync works in practice, you can find iThink 365 Connect directly on the Breathe HR Marketplace, along with other integrations designed to help teams save time, reduce admin, and work smarter.
