Join any site using the IDs you already have

PrefPass is the solution to Web 2.0 login proliferation! Everyone loves all the new sites that pop up every day, making the web a better place. But nobody likes having to go through the whole registration and login rigmarole over and over again.

When a site uses PrefPass, you can use the IDs you already have to join. Maybe you’re one of the millions with a Yahoo! ID or AOL screen name; or maybe you’re a huge OpenID fan; or maybe you always stay logged into Facebook. No matter which ID you feel like using, PrefPass has you covered.

No more passwords to remember

Now let’s see, this site wanted a number in the password, didn’t it? Oops, did I tack on a ‘1′ at the end or at the beginning…? Oh no, I think this was the one that wanted a capital letter! Wait, maybe I wrote it down on that slip of paper in my drawer…grrr…

At PrefPass, our mission is to let you shred that slip of paper sooner rather than later. Not only don’t you have to remember which password goes where, you’ll lose that dangerous temptation to use pretty much the same password at every site. Which bring us to…

PrefPass is safe

When you use PrefPass, we never see your password. When you pop over to your ID provider of choice, you can see that you’re actually at Yahoo!, or AOL, or Facebook. Nobody but them will ever see your login! Once you bounce back, we’ve logged you in using a strong password that is impossible to guess, and different for each site you go to.

A bonus of PrefPass is that you get a control panel that lets you keep track of all the sites you have a relationship with. We definitely believe in the idea that users should own their data. That’s why you can add tags about your interests — “Prefs” — for sites to use to customize their content. And you always see exactly what information is being used. No hidden profiles in a black box, just straightforward Prefs that you have absolute control over.
