    That’s why companies use SSO, so when they lay off someone, they just have to disable one account.

      Also easier than resetting passwords for 15 different sites and accounts because a user lost their post-it note

      Not necessarily to justify Gizmodo in this instance, but Slack does paywall their SSO feature behind their Business+ Plan, which seems to currently run $12.50/mo/user, which is about a 70% increase from their next pricing tier. See: https://slack.com/pricing

      Given the price difference I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want to pay for that.

      Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/
