This move by Creately to enable you easily register and login to Creately is just the start and will expand to other services in future. Eventually, we will be able to enable features to utilize your Facebook, Twitter or Google data to simplify your experience whatever it is that you are doing (Example: Share diagrams with your Facebook friends).<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/xx1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4118\" title=\"OpenID for Facebook\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/xx1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/03\/xx1.png 550w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/03\/xx1-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>So what is&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/openid.net\/\">OpenID<\/a> really? Its a concept\/standard used for mostly letting one service authenticate or validate a user for another service. So when you use Facebook to login to Creately, Facebook is simply telling us that you are a real person and we can create an account for you in Creately. Every time you login to Facebook, you can simply access your account in Creately as well since we have bound your Facebook account with Creately Account. Creately will not be able to access any of your data unless you specifically provide access to them as shown in above image. As of now, OpenID has over one billion OpenID enabled user accounts and over 50,000 websites accepting OpenID for logins. It really is easy to see why this concept is gaining adoption quite rapidly in cyberspace.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4113\" title=\"OpenID\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/03\/2.png 550w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2011\/03\/2-300x72.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping up with the spirit of simplicity, we\u2019ve made accessing Creately\u2019s diagramming world easier thanks to using OpenID.
