Hey Airtable Community! We're excited to announce an upcoming change that will streamline your experience within our vibrant community. Effective June 2nd, the Airtable Community will exclusively support login via Single Sign-On (SSO). This means the option to log in with a separate username and password will no longer be available after this date. What does this mean for you?This transition to SSO will provide a more unified login process. We believe this change will ultimately benefit everyone in the community. How do you swap over to SSO?The good news is that for most of you, the switch will be completely seamless! If the email address you currently use for your Airtable Community profile matches the email address associated with the SSO login you use to access Airtable, you won't need to do anything special. Simply log in via the SSO option, and you'll be automatically connected to your existing community profile. What if I'm not currently using SSO for my Airtable account?No worri
