The simplest and recommended method to enable cloud authentication for on-premises directory objects in Azure AD is [Password Hash Synchronization](./how-to-connect-password-hash-synchronization.md) (PHS). Alternatively, some organizations may consider enabling [Pass-through Authentication](./how-to-connect-pta-quick-start.md) (PTA).

Whether you choose PHS or PTA, don't forget to consider [SSO](./how-to-connect-sso.md) to allow users to access apps without constantly entering their username and password. SSO can be achieved by using [Hybrid Azure AD joined](../devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid) or [Azure AD joined](../devices/concept-azure-ad-join) devices while keeping access to on-premises resources. For devices that can’t be Azure AD joined, [Seamless single sign-on (Seamless SSO)](how-to-connect-sso-quick-start.md) helps provide those capabilities. Without single sign-on, users must remember application-specific passwords and sign into each application. Likewise, IT staff needs to create and update user accounts for each application such as Microsoft 365, Box, and Salesforce. Users need to remember their passwords, plus spend the time to sign into each application. Providing a standardized single sign-on mechanism to the entire enterprise is crucial for best user experience, reduction of risk, ability to report, and governance.

For organizations already using AD FS or another on-premises authentication provider, moving to Azure AD as your identity provider can reduce complexity and improve availability. Unless you have specific use cases for using federation, we recommend migrating from federated authentication to either PHS or PTA. Doing this you can enjoy the benefits of a reduced on-premises footprint, and the flexibility the cloud offers with improved user experiences. For more information, see [Migrate from federation to password hash synchronization for Azure Active Directory](./migrate-from-federation-to-cloud-authentication.md).
