Haven’t seen this topic popup. I’ve inherited a Discourse server and I’m looking to implement SSO without abandoning all the previous users who logged in without SSO.

Basically this flow:

1. User on Discourse is logged out. Clicks ‘login’
2. Can type in Username / password, or click “login via [my site]”

I’ve got the SSO working thanks to this great thread: [Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/official-single-sign-on-for-discourse/13045)  
I’ve got the normal login with username / password working.

But not both at the same time. Is there a feature for this? current settings - [Screen Shot 2017-08-01 at 2.23.33 PM - Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/LtYo0Y9.png)

SSO is always the **Single** login when enabled.

If you want to provide multiple logins methods, you need to create login strategies, like [Discourse OAuth2 Basic - #104](https://meta.discourse.org/t/oauth2-basic-support/33879/104), [Discourse LinkedIn Authentication](https://meta.discourse.org/t/linkedin-oauth2-plugin/46818), etc.

Also, if your current users exist in the SSO provider, they can use that just fine because the emails will match.
