Hello,

I am currently developing an application (for own usage) in which I would like to have a page with vaultwarden embedded (kind like iframe)

Is it possible to have a Single Login to my main App without the need to login again in Vaultwarden?

As far as I understand this question falls into this topic [Confirmation on OpenID?](https://vaultwarden.discourse.group/t/confirmation-on-openid/1068) about OpenId, and SSO.

I would like to ask if there is another way to achieve this.

Thank you in advance

Vaultwarden needs a master password which it uses to decrypt the vault. So SSO isn’t really SSO, it oy validates that you are allowed to login/enter the decryption password.

Also, password changes done by the SSO can’t be seen by Bitwarden/Vaultwarden, and thus will result in an unencryptable vault.
