VPT gives you the flexibility to create accounts with popular OAuth providers. As part of the account creation process, you can choose to authenticate using these third-party providers. This allows you to access your VPT account using your credentials from the provider instead of creating separate credentials in VPT.
Currently, VPT supports authentication using Google accounts. Additional providers will be added in the future. This method of authentication is only supported in the SaaS version of VPT and is not available for on-premises deployments.
