Facebook Launches OpenID Support for Web.de and GMX in Germany
Facebook has just launched support for OpenID authentication with German email providers Web.de and GMX, Frankfurter Allgemeine reports.
Now, once users link their Facebook account to a Web.de or GMX email address, they’ll be automatically logged in when they go to Facebook after having logged into that service. Facebook said earlier this year that in user testing, users who register through OpenID actually get engaged with Facebook more quickly than others.
It’s Facebook’s first step toward supporting OpenID with European email providers.
