With Salesforce Identity Embedded Login, you can integrate Salesforce login capabilities
into your own external website. When customers access your external website, they see a login
form that prompts them to enter a username and password. Depending on the use case, you can use
Embedded Login as a single sign-on (SSO) alternative for your external webpages. Or use Embedded
Login to add a layer of authentication to purchases by requiring customers to log in
first.

Configure embedded login for these use cases.
Require Authentication to Access Your Site
If your external website doesn’t support SSO, use embedded login to require customers to
log in before accessing your external website. For example, when customers visit your
external website, they see a login button embedded on the webpage. The customer enters their
Salesforce credentials in the login form. Salesforce authenticates them, allowing them to
access your webpage.
Require Authentication for Purchases
Similarly, you can use embedded login to add a login button to the page with your shopping
cart. Customers are then required to authenticate before they can make a purchase. For
example, they add items to their shopping cart. Before they make a purchase, they enter a
username and password, adding a layer of authentication to your external shop.
