Logging in with credentials for SharePoint

We are going to be rolling out a new SharePoint site soon which is the SharePoint online version.  We also use Teams, Skype for Business, Outlook and some other things (Word, Excel, etc) whereas these applications do not ask the end user to authenticate.  However in doing SharePoint testing, most times when a browser is open, it asks for a user to authenticate.  Can it not do single sign on as our O365 Tenant already knows who is signed on and this is the only application that does this.  Is there a setting in Admin for SharePoint that I have turned on (or off)?

 

Thanks

      It should, but SPO doesn't.  For instance, I just signed in this morning here at work on my laptop.  After signing in, my Skype comes up and does not ask for my credentials.  I can go right into Teams no issue.  If I bring up SPO in Explorer or Edge, it does work, but if I bring it up in Chrome, it asks for identity.

        Okay, I miss-read your original post. So you are using seamless SSO I guess.

         

        But, if you are using federated identity (ADFS SSO), the problem with Chrome is that by default ADFS doesn't offer Windows integrated authentication (WIA). All you need to do is to add Chrome to the list of WIA supported browsers as explained here.
