Shopify for user registration

9 points by ChicagoEcon 16y ago

Hi fellow HNers. I'm working in a start-up and while we are good web design/UX, we aren't web app geniuses. Especially with the Firesheep debacle in mind, we're looking to see if there's any services out there that will handle user registration and log in for us. Kind of like Wufoo + log in. With thousands of apps all needing this common functionality, surely there's something out there? Thanks!

To articulate my needs a little bit better, I'd like the service to be able to verify phone numbers and/or e-mail addresses. The service would be white labeled such that, to the user, it would look like a normal registration form and login specific to my app with a custom confirmation e-mail. The confirmation e-mail part is probably the biggest headache of all and something I'd like to offload. We don't want to use FBConnect or Google accounts for branding purposes. Any suggestions are appreciated. :-)

  Mailchimp? Their API allows for a great deal of flexibility...Not sure on phone # verification, however.

  MaxMind does phone verification: http://www.maxmind.com/app/telephone_overview http://www.maxmind.com/app/telephone_overview

  That looks very good if it will allow custom registration form fields.

  Okay, this seems to be a proxy of all the different popular openid/oath providers. What I'm looking for is creating accounts that aren't necessarily tied into these other services like Yahoo/Twitter. Thanks for the reply. :-)
