ID4me protocol to fix the login process for businesses, public sector and users

Brussels, Belgium – March 19, 2019 - ID4me AISBL announces today the launch of their global and independent Single Sign-On (SSO) protocol.

ID4me is a not-for-profit organization that uses and extends open standards to provide a federated protocol for digital identity management. The ID4me initiative was created by members of the open source software, domain and hosting industry to provide internet users with a privacy-friendly identity. ID4me is the solution to make it easy to provide safe, privacy friendly logins needed for a modern- day web-presence combined with digital marketing and integrated SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) tools. CloudFest, held from March 25 to 29, 2019 in Rust, Germany [1], is the perfect partner and venue to evangelize the ID4me protocol within the global cloud and hosting industry and beyond.

Managing logins and digital identities across multiple sites and applications on the internet is a frustrating experience for users and site owners alike. The industry has been waiting for a simpler Single Sign-On solution. Website owners who are curious about this revolutionary technology and want to implement ID4me can find the documentation and open protocol on the ID4me Website: id4me.org/documents

ID4me Chairman Andreas Gauger, one of the pioneers in “aaS” (Application as a Service) and co-founder of the first hosting company in Germany, will reveal a secret and powerful conversion and retention killer that is typically not discussed in marketing and management meetings during his keynote on March 26, 2019 at CloudFest’s Ballsaal Berlin venue space [2].

During the bootcamp session “Fixing the login - Onboard and Retain Customers At Ease!“ on March 27, at CloudFest’s Circus Celebration venue space, Alexander Schwertner, Domain Industry Consultant at ID4me, and Pawel Kowalik, Head of Product Owners Domains at 1&1 IONOS, will talk about the current cumbersome and broken login process and will demonstrate how the ID4me solution can simplify the customer authentication experience [2].

The ID4me team will demo the open protocol and the latest plugins that were developed during the CloudFest Hackathon [3].
