Universal login is a copy-and-paste away
PrefPass is online identity widgetized! More users will want to join your site if they can use the IDs they already have. But supporting the various evolving auth APIs is a distraction, hard work, and usually requires changes that go all the way down to your user database.
Adding PrefPass is simple, letting you outsource identity just like you might outsource ad serving, analytics, or RSS feed management. No libraries to integrate, no new versions to keep up with, and absolutely no changes to your registration and login process or user database.
Easily get more users signed up at your site
Adding PrefPass to your site is as easy as can be. You just sign up, enter your site details, and then paste some code on your registration and login pages. Instantly, your users can use IDs from Yahoo! to AIM to Facebook to OpenID.
Best of all, these users all have a direct relationship with your site. Existing users don’t experience any changes in flow, the “forgot password” link still works for everyone, and you can continue to ask for any information you want during or after registration.
Keep control of your user relationships
With PrefPass, every user still has a login and password that is specific to your site. Not only does that mean that your existing sign-on system continues to work just fine, it means that your users can switch away from PrefPass at any time. No confusions between accounts, no lock-in, and no problems when user decide they don’t like the ID they used to register.
In fact, we’ve gone out of our way to make PrefPass completely future-proof. What if PrefPass gets swallowed by EvilCorp? No problem, your users can establish a direct login with your site any time they want. What if PrefPass servers explode in a ball of flame? No problem, your normal registration and login continues to hum along. With PrefPass, you own your user relationships. We’re just here to help you make more of them.
