Our goal has always been to make it easier to sign up for and log into websites. No more passwords… except… ahem… one.
It bugged us that you still needed a password for Clickpass so we wanted to figure out whether we could get rid of that last one. Could we make Clickpass so easy to use that you didn’t even need to sign up for us?
Well today we’ve done exactly that. You can now sign into Clickpass using your Google, Yahoo, Facebook or Microsoft Live ID.
Simply chose the account you want to use, log in and then if you already have a Clickpass, link it up.
Accept all GYMF(!) accounts in one fell swoop
The new update means that supporting Clickpass on your site lets people immediately sign up to you immediately using Google, Yahoo, Microsoft or Facebook.
Install OpenID, drop us in on top and people can register with you without ever needing a password. We’ll do all of the worrying on the back end to make it simple for you and your users on the front.
Scribd.com is an awesome way to upload, share and embed documents into webpages. Millions of people visit Scribd every day and logging in is now one-click simple with Clickpass
NSyght.com is a new UK startup which allows you to search the web and filter the results based on your bookmarks and those of your friends.
Ourdoings.com is a new photo sharing site that lets you upload, share and organise your photos easily.
We’re currently had at work building the Clickpass libraries which will allow our site owners to drop Clickpass quickly and easily into applications. As soon as they’re ready to roll installing Clickpass should become a whole lot easier and will result in yet more places where you can just “click-in”.
Clickpass is coming to Oxford (UK) and we’d love to see you there too.
We’re going to be speaking about our experience on Y-Combinator, living in San Francisco and working with partners servicing millions of users.
If you’re interested in hearing more or you’re interested in coming out to California and working with us either full time or for an internship then we’d love to meet you.
Venue: Said Business School Oxford map
Time: 7pm, Friday 25th April Facebook event
Wanted to make it but couldn’t? Didn’t want to make it but now curious? Whatever your Clickpass craving, you can now satiate it online with an intro both to Clickpass and to OpenID recorded at the Justin.tv studios in San Francisco:
Putting Clickpass live was easily the most exciting and nerve racking 24 hours in the company’s life so far.
It’s a pretty cool tale which like the best of them gets better still in the retelling so we’ve written up a little of what happened over at thinkvitamin.com.
Joseph Smarr who never fails to amaze me with the speed at which he produces has also written an awesome account of it on the other side of the web as our biggest launch partner at josephsmarr.com.

We’ll be talking a little about the technology behind Clickpass, how to install it and a few of the things we’ll be releasing over the coming months.
Clickpass launched last Tuesday, March 11th 2008. We received a great review at Techcrunch and all over the web and everything has gone really well.
We are continually working to improve the service, we will be posting new features and keeping you updated on progress on this blog and of course we are always interested in your feedback.
The Clickpass wordpress plugin has also received a great reception. Its something we whipped up pretty quickly to make it easier for people to login to there wordpress blogs and it has gained quite a lot of users and positive review.
For now you can use Clickpass at Plaxo, Disqus, news.ycombinator and Trusted Places. We would like to thanks all our launch partners and all our users for setting us off on the right track and we hope to continue improving the service!
