Learn how Google Workspace Administrators can approve Edge Factor as a trusted app in the Google Admin Console. This allows educators and students to securely log in using their school Google accounts.

Edge Factor supports Google Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing educators and students to log in using their school Google credentials.
