Crewparty Integrates Open ID

Crewparty, as a service that helps you organize and manage your online social presence, makes it even easier to connect and communicate. Remaining faithful to the lines of data portability and openness, Crewparty gives its users the ability to join by using their OpenID. OpenID is a new open standard that lets you sign in to web sites with a single URL that you own. This URL can be your homepage or blog, or it can be provided to you by a web site you use. In either case, you only have to sign in once to your OpenID provider and so you only need to maintain a single password. OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online experience.
You get to choose the OpenID Provider that best meets your needs and most importantly that you trust. At the same time, your OpenID can stay with you, no matter which Provider you move to. And best of all, the OpenID technology is not proprietary and is completely free.

How is Crewparty using OpenID?

You can attach your OpenID to your existing Crewparty account or use OpenID to register for a new free Crewparty account. In both cases, you will then be able to sign in using your OpenID provider and you won’t have to use or remember a separate password for Crewparty. If you register with your OpenID, you can also pre-fill your Crewparty registration information from your OpenID provider, making it the fastest way to get started with Crewparty. To get started, enter your OpenID URL and click Sign in.
