Remote Login Script

Post by waqas_punjabian »

Hi all,

Hi. I would like to have made a remote login script for Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail. I would like users to be able to come to my website, put in their username and password for Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail, and log in to my website contents.

Can anybody suggest me, what do I have to do to implement this functionality?

A friend told me that I can do it

1) by using the API's of each of above services.
or
2) by using some 3rd party script which facilitate to login to these websites.

So, can you please guide me in this scenario?

Thanks in advance :D

best regards,
Waqas

Have you looked for some documentation by the sites you referred to?

Also...this sounds a bit dodgy. I personally would never give my gmail password to a 3rd part site 8O

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I know Google and Yahoo give this facility by using their APIs, however, I wonder if there's some 3rd party script which could enable me to use all of them at one place. Actually, it's a lengthy work to go for APIs for each of these services.

So, is there anybody know about it?

Well, Yes it seems a risk. However, these days we have lots of security providers as well, so the chances are very less. :lol: :drunk:

User can search out the buildings around the world and talk to the inhabitants of the buildings. There are lots of other functionality.

I just want to remove the SignUp barrier. If a user have an account with other websites like: Gmail, Yahoo, MSn etc. he won't need to SignUp.

Do you mean like an open id? If so, you should google barnraiser, oyster, around me or open id.
many people already have an open id without realising it, it allows them to use one id for any site which incorporates open id. Barnraiser etc are open id scripts which you can implement on your own site. Check this url for more info: http://openid.net/
