1. A method for logging in to modern workspaces using different cloud identity providers and single sign-on, the method comprising:
in conjunction with a user computing device booting up and prior to a user logging in to the user computing device, detecting that the user is attempting to log in to the user computing device;
presenting a custom login screen to the user to thereby prevent the user from logging in to the user computing device using a login screen provided by an operating system that has been loaded on the user computing device;
receiving login credentials via the custom login screen;
injecting the login credentials into an authentication interface of a cloud identity provider to thereby authenticate the user via the cloud identity provider using the login credentials received via the custom login screen; and
in response to authenticating the user using the login credentials received via the custom login screen, causing the user to be logged in to the user computing device, wherein causing the user to be logged in to the user computing device comprises presenting a modern workspace to the user on the user computing device in place of allowing the operating system to present a desktop to the user, wherein the modern workspace includes cloud resources from a variety of cloud solutions.
