Which access method will require the user to enter their password stored in Google Workspace versus their SSO login credential?

The method that requires the user to enter their password stored in Google Workspace is the Google Workspace password access method. This access method directly uses the credentials that are set within the Google Workspace system. When users opt to log in using this method, they are prompted to enter their unique password that is associated with their Google account, confirming their identity without relying on any single sign-on (SSO) solutions or additional authentication layers.

In contrast, other methods like third-party SSO login require the user to authenticate with external credentials rather than the ones stored within Google Workspace. Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security on top of existing credentials but does not replace the need for the primary credentials, which could involve SSO dependency. OAuth tokens typically facilitate access based on already granted permissions and do not involve direct password entry by the user. Therefore, the distinctiveness of using the Google Workspace password lies in its direct linkage to the user’s account within that ecosystem, as opposed to other methods that facilitate access through different mechanisms.
