Blackbaud ID overview

Blackbaud's secure authentication service is the central identity management system for Blackbaud solutions. When you are invited to use a Blackbaud solution, you create a Blackbaud ID to identify yourself and facilitate single sign-on as you move across Blackbaud's suite of solutions and services.

With Blackbaud ID, you use your email address to securely sign in to Blackbaud solutions and services. When you create your Blackbaud ID, you get a wide variety of benefits:

  • Blackbaud ID allows you to securely sign in to the Blackbaud solutions ecosystem. By default, it uses Blackbaud's secure authentication service, but users can opt to authenticate through social sign-in instead. And organizations can also enable single sign-on (SSO) to sign in through their identity providers and manage the users in their claimed domains.
  • Blackbaud ID provides enhanced password protection and brute force protection on all login attempts.
  • Blackbaud ID allows you to enhance security with multi-factor authentication through text messages or mobile authenticators.
  • Blackbaud ID provides secure access to multiple Blackbaud solutions and Support resources.
  • Blackbaud ID allows users to authenticate through social sign-in using credentials from a social networking service, such as Apple or Google. These users then use their social sign-in accounts for authentication requirements, password resets, and other support needs.

Your Blackbaud ID allows you to securely sign in to these Blackbaud solutions and services.
