Sign in to apps with your openfeed account

Some apps let you sign in with your openfeed account, the same way you might sign in with other identity providers. It’s called Login with openfeed, it’s optional, and it’s a quick way into an app without creating yet another username and password.

What it is

When an app offers Login with openfeed, you can tap one button, confirm with openfeed, and you’re signed in. Behind the scenes it uses the same secure sign-in openfeed uses everywhere, so there’s no new password to set up for that app.

Signing in is not the same as sharing your data

This is the important part: logging in and sharing your financial data are two separate things.

• Logging in gives the app minimal information about you, in fact just a unique identifier for you expressed as a globally unique string 21cde22b-501b-4969-8553-a7d7c64ca708. Not your name, email or other personal details.
• Sharing is a separate, explicit step. An app only sees your banking or energy data if you choose to share it, account by account, as described in How onward sharing works.

You can sign in to an app with openfeed and share no financial data at all, just don’t choose any accounts. Nothing is shared until you say so.

One account, however you sign in

Your openfeed account is the same whether you first signed up with email, Google or Apple, so Login with openfeed always points at the one identity that’s yours. If an app supports it, you’ll see a “Login with openfeed” label so you know it’s available.
