SSO TAX, CUT
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
This blog post discusses why Tailscale originally charged extra for advanced identity providers and why it decided to remove this charge. Tailscale requires SSO and doesn't allow for username + password authentication, but made the decision to charge extra for some paid/advanced identity providers, believing that clients of those IdPs might want premium features anyway. However, when Tailscale reevaluated its pricing structure, it realized that this created an SSO tax and customer feedback indicated that it didn't really impact their chosen services.
