FAQ
Do I have to go through this process again?
No, you only need to use Open ID to link your RCampus account with another provider once.
Can I use Open ID to link my RCampus account with multiple providers?
Yes. You can link your RCampus account with all of these providers, but only one at a time.
Is Open ID secure?
Yes, Open ID allows you to control how much information you share with the websites you go to. Your password is only given to one provider and that provider then confirms your identity to the websites you visit, so they never see your password.
