Open ID is an innovative method to easily access multiple online accounts.
Using Open ID, you can use the same access information (i.e. e-mail address and password) for one account to securely access other accounts. For example, with RCampus Open ID, you can now log in to RCampus by using your Google, Yahoo! and Blogger account information so that you can directly access RCampus from these other providers.
