Thanks IPS! I am happy to see this feature in IPB3!

Looks like alot of people are having success with the FB Connect feature. This site had over 58% new visitors signing up for it using FBConnect:

Also according to this article under number FBConnect is doing very well:

This company dropped OpenID:

IPB or someone should look into getting FB Connect to work with IPB as it seems to be a lot more successful then OpenID.

I'm just going to state for the record that on a personal level, I'd love to get more integration with third party software. That includes additional login methods and integration with larger software packages like Drupal and Wordpress.

I'm considering looking into them (independently/not here at work) later this coming year.

We'd like to support as many login methods as possible, so we'll keep this in mind for future releases :)

You can also invite your friends too! :wub:

Here is a demo of it working:

Hello,
Since IPB3 is using the new OpenID program, I would like to suggest that IPS maybe use Facebook Connect as well. Millions of people use Facebook and the amount of people that would be able to register using FB Connect FAR outnumbers those using Open ID

This would certainly be a feature that could set IPB apart from it's competition. It can also probably be set up so that new users have their profile picture as their avatar!
