What is the benefit of the (Single Sign-On) PIN feature?
Remembering your login state makes switching from one PIN-protected website to another more convenient. Furthermore, some applications display information from multiple websites at the same time. If those applications are PIN-protected, a user may need to login several times to make that application work in the absence of Single Sign-On.
PIN saves your login ID so you do not have to reenter this information each time you want to access a website. This feature only works for sites that allow it. When you logout of the PIN System, you will no longer be automatically logged in.
How am I logged into multiple websites even though I only logged in once?
By default, PIN creates a record of your login asserting that you have authenticated, which only lives as long as the browser with which you logged in is open. The PIN System is able to maintain your record for longer periods of time if you choose “Remember Me” when you login. It is an optional feature that you may select when you log in and only works on the computers where you enable it.
