# External Login Providers

The External Login Providers feature in Umbraco Cloud allows you to integrate third-party authentication systems to manage backoffice user logins securely and efficiently. This functionality is especially useful for teams that want to simplify login management or use their existing identity systems.

This feature is currently only available for backoffice logins.
