Account Providers
An Account Provider allows your users to authenticate and sign-in using a specific authentication method. This can be a social provider like Facebook, Microsoft Account... , an enterprise provider like Office 365, SAMLP aware identity providers... or custom proprietary providers.
You need to activate one Account Provider for each method you want to allow your users to authenticate and sign-in with.

The Identity Hub supports many Account Providers out-of-the-box.
