Why do I need to clear my cache?
When you use Single Sign-On (SSO) to log into a website or application, your browser stores bits of information called cookies and cache. These are meant to help you by remembering your login details and speeding up your browsing experience. However, sometimes these stored pieces of information can cause problems, especially if they become outdated or corrupted.
