1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to convert an account associated with an application to use a single sign-on service, the method comprising:
receiving, on a device, an indication of a weak password associated with the account; and in response to receiving the indication of the weak password, converting the authorization
process for the account to the single sign-on service by,
requesting a single sign-on credential for the account, receiving the single sign-on credential,
negotiating an authorization token with an identification server, and
sending a message to a server associated with a service for the application that the application is registered for a single sign-on service, wherein a single sign-on service is a service that allows a user to use a single set of credentials to sign-on to multiple services across one or more authorization domains and the sending of the message includes forwarding the authorization token to the server associated with the service.
