JanRains Universal Login Widget To Drive OpenID Adoption and Usage
"The ID Selector is what website operators and OpenID users have been demanding," said Brian Kissel, JanRain's CEO. "They've been asking platform developers to devise a better way to harness the potential of OpenID by creating a simpler, more intuitive user-experience. For websites already enabled, ID Selector can be installed before the "next forgotten password customer call has been resolved."
Happy Site Visitors, More Registered Users
ID Selector is the most consumer-friendly OpenID tool available to website operators . The widget-based tool can quickly increase OpenID usage and login success rates, while enabling a better user experience on more than 11,000 OpenID-enabled websites. Helpdesk services firm Axios reports that 40 to 50 percent of customer helpdesk calls are associated with forgotten passwords, with an average cost of $25 to resolve, according to the Mega Group. Additionally, converting website visitors to registered users can increase considerably by implementing OpenID.
Scott Kveton, vice president of open platforms for Confident Technologies and an ID Selector distribution partner, observes "widespread adoption of OpenID is disadvantaged by usability concerns but JanRain's easy-to-use universal login widget is a great step forward in that respect."
Brand Reach and Customer Loyalty
For website operators who want to further extend their company's brand, JanRain also offers OpenID enablement and provisioning platform solutions that create a branded and seamless OpenID experience. OpenID solutions include integration services, robust security features, enhanced customer data support, as well as SSL certificate and InfoCard integration.
Pricing and Availability
ID Selector is free for websites already accepting OpenID login and can be downloaded at http://www.idselector.com. An ID Selector partner program for OpenID providers is available with more information at http://www.idselector.com/partners. JanRain also offers turnkey solution packages to OpenID-enable websites and provision client-branded OpenIDs.
