**Login with openfeed** lets people sign in to your app using their openfeed identity, a
familiar single-tap sign-in for anyone who has an openfeed account. It's the natural starting
point for apps that will invite users to share their banking or energy data.

## Why offer it

- **Data sharing feels like one flow, not two**: When a signed-in user later chooses to share
  their banking or energy data, the flow is streamlined. They don't re-authenticate; they go
  straight to the disclosure consent screen and pick which accounts to share.
- **A user base already trusted with their data**: People who use openfeed have made a considered
  trust decision about handing over their banking or energy data. "Sign in with openfeed" carries
  more weight than a generic social login for a data-heavy app.
- **Lower sign-up friction**: Returning openfeed users get into your app in a single tap. No new
  password to create, no new profile to fill in.

## How it works

Login with openfeed uses the same authorization flow as data sharing. The
[Quickstart](/resources/quickstart) covers the setup. Your OIDC client library handles the rest.

## What it costs

Leveraging Login with openfeed is **free**. There's no per-authorisation charge and no cost to
add it to your app. Consumer pricing applies when a signed-in user chooses to share their banking
or energy data with you. See [Pricing](/pricing) for the details.
