“JanRain’s recent release of RPX Basic is the first public offering of OpenID RP SaaS. This will make it a lot easier for many sites to integrate OpenID into their existing content and services and provide their features to a greater audience I believe this is an important development in the adoption of OpenID and am hopeful that standards will develop around this capability."

“JanRain offers a service to help sites easily get going with portable identity solutions by handling the “UI, authentication, and import of user profile and registration data for your website.” It is a great complement to MySpaceID, by offering compatibility with our identity platform. As a developer, this can help you easily get going with our platform while letting JanRain handle much of the heavy lifting with their excellent product offering. We’re excited to be integrated into the product as of last week, and have been collaborating to help provide the developer community with a better experience." [Read More]

"JanRain's RPX service makes it easy for websites to accept OpenID, allowing new users to sign in using an identity that they already have. Sites using RPX have a very streamlined sign in experience, making it super easy for Yahoo users to sign in and share their Yahoo Profile and Yahoo email address with just a couple clicks.”

"Early adopter websites like Plaxo are now showing (see presentation) the economic value of federated login for reducing drop-off rates during the user signup process. However, getting the technology and user interface right is tricky, and best practices are still evolving in communities such as OpenID and OAuth. Janrain's RPX offering enables website owners to leverage those ongoing enhancements without having to dedicate resources to this specialized area."

"Microsoft is a proponent of open standards through our work in the Open ID foundation and the Open Web Foundation. As these open specifications continue to mature, services such as RPX are great because they provide a stepping stone for developers. RPX delivers both user experience for identity provider selection and a translation layer between many proprietary and standardized protocols used by identity/resource providers."

“For site operators, RPX offers an economical way to integrate the non-core function of “login via third-party identity providers” at a time when the choices in that space are growing and evolving rapidly. So, rather than direct its own technical resources to integrating Facebook Connect and the various OpenID implementations from MySpace, Google, Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft, along with plain vanilla OpenID, a site operator can simply outsource all of those headaches to JanRain. For those who have wondered whether OpenID and the Open Stack could end up with a user interface and user experience to match Facebook Connect, it’s clear that RPX is a big step forward, with a clean “lightbox” UI. And for those who have wondered what sites will do when confronted with the choice of Facebook Connect or OpenID, RPX helps to remind us that sites want maximum audience and are keen on presenting whatever choices get them the most users and the best new-user onboarding.” [Read More]

“Easy tutorials, developer examples, and videos are great. Fantastic, up-to-date, and usable libraries are even better. Easy-install plugins (like MovableType) and full-scale solutions like RPX are the best.” [Read More]

“As the social web becomes a bigger part of our everyday interactions and the boundaries separating the myriad of social networks blur, portable online identities will become critically important. By integrating JanRain’s RPX product into our platform we instantly bring a market leading third party registration and login offering to our clients that makes it seamless for our community members to easily connect their social graph and activity streams across the web.” [Read More]

"RPX means that for the first time we have a way to handle multiple identity providers without exhausting our developers and alienating our users. It was incredibly swift and easy to implement and the JanRain team went out of their way to make RPX support our unique needs. In the end, RPX has created more choice and ease of use for our users, saved us significant time and money and meant that we could focus our developers on creating real value for our service."

"We were very keen on integrating the major third party identity providers, but not that keen on doing it six times. JanRain's solution saved us time and complexity, is very cost effective, and allows us to scale. Our new 2-click registration process, besides making it simple to leave your opinion on Qype, also brings other benefits such as many more registered users instantly bringing profile pictures."

“We were thoroughly impressed with the quality, ease of integration and robust features of the RPX solution, as well as the professionalism and support that JanRain offered through the process. We’re proud to be part of the RPX Agency Partner Program for this innovative product and we look forward to future integrations of JanRain products and services.”

“I was looking for a solution that would be intuitive for our fans and easy for me to implement. RPX has the best user experience that I could find, and we definitely wanted to support Facebook & Myspace which hadn’t implemented OpenID yet. I wanted to be able to write a one sentence explanation on “how to login” and I was able to. Finally, I wanted a turnkey implementation approach that we could get up and running quickly with minimal effort. It literally took me 30 minutes to get RPX integrated and our fans even less time to start voting. So with RPX we got a killer integrated user experience and a best of class deployment model.” [Read More]

"Like many, we've been holding off implementing either OpenID or Facebook Connect until we see which solution people (site owners and visitors) are favouring; and until they also get a bit easier to implement and use… JanRain of Portland, Oregon, have a solution that enables you to log in to either through a single and smart looking interface. Their website describes well how RPX works but, in essence, they provide a hosted solution for authenticating your site users using OpenID or Facebook Connect, giving you some simple code to add to your site where your login form goes today. With just a few clicks, visitors to your site can sign up using the identity from a number of sites (Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo, Google Mail, AOL to name a few), or continue to register using your existing sign up process. If they come in using identity from another site, they can also bring over existing contacts from many of these and, in some instances, post back comments to the other social network. If there are other solutions that enable you to do so much so easily, I haven't yet found them.” [Read More]

“Have cake and eat it too solutions will emerge as a strong option; Have you seen JanRain's RPX plug-in? ? It lets users log in to a website using OpenID or proprietary methods, like Facebook Connect, through the same interface. It's really pretty, too.” [Read More]

“When I heard about RPX, a new integration service from JanRain, my interest sky-rocketed. Previously, the thought of manually integrating into the current OpenID world seemed intimidating to me. RPX solves that problem - hands down.” [Read More]

“JanRain RPX brings all of the potential login options - Facebook Connect, MySpaceID, and Google Friend Connect, as well Yahoo!, AOL, and other OpenID accounts - into a single login interface. This does two things. First, it enables developers to deploy a variety of similar, yet not synonymous, logins more efficiently. And second, it gives users the option of choosing the most familiar method of providing credentials to sites.” [Read More]

“It’s a double win, really. Through RPX we’re presenting the broadest range of sign-in options for users without having to chew up internal development resources to keep them current. I’m looking forward to when Microsoft rolls out OpenID because it will just ’show-up’ without requiring additional time from our developers to support it.” [Read More]

"If you operate a site or service and want to accept identity from large third parties, you encounter a bewildering array of implementations. Some are fairly proprietary, such as Facebook. Others, such as Google, are based on a standard but with a twist. New ones come along, such as Twitter, and present their own versions. This makes building them all a real resource challenge. On top of that there is a real possibility of getting it wrong and creating a usability or worse yet a security problem as a result. This challenge for site owners is a real opportunity for third-parties to provide a service. A number of folks have been working on this, but by far the farthest along appears to be JanRain with with their RPX offering. RPX is a software-as-a-service solution that abstracts away the multiple authentication offerings behind a fairly simple set of calls. Given the variety of implementations in use that is no small feat. JanRain is currently pursuing a freemium model with the base version of RPX available for free." [Read More]

"Wow, this is sweet. https://www.rpxnow.com. I was able to implement it in about an hour on an ASP.NET MVC site."

“Web properties relying on OpenID and related open technologies have to deal with some small pieces loosely joined, which can lead to a bit more complexity. One startup, JanRain, has a universal login product that addresses the complexity issue. It provides a simple software-as-a-service solution based on OpenID.” [Read More]

“There are a lot of libraries and plugins for a lot of platforms, but most of them have three problems: complexity, incompatibility, and poor usability…..RPX solves these issues in one swoop — it’s mercifully simple, feature rich, and user friendly. Did I mention free? That’s nice, too.” [Read More]

"I was struggling with integrating third party authentication to my application. I had time enough to choose one, OpenID, Facebook, or Google. The decision was difficult since each captured a sizable market, but not all. Then I found RPX, which made the decision and my job an easy one. I no longer needed to choose because RPX provided them all in a simple, easy to implement solution using their API. Within a day, I was up and running flawlessly."

“The JanRain (OpenID) folks have outdone everyone for single sign on. https://www.rpxnow.com/ This is the coolest thing ever."

“The fight is on. Google Connect v FB connect - open v closed - where is MSFT in all this. Best option right now is agnostic using JanRain.”

“RPX is pretty nice. Implement an open login/registration system in ~20 lines of code.”
