Authentication providers allow you to configure external identity providers to authenticate users in your Salesforce org. This feature allows users to log in to Salesforce using their credentials from another trusted system, streamlining the login experience and improving security. This provider is particularly useful when users already have accounts with external identity providers, and you want to integrate with their existing authentication mechanisms.
