Clickpass

edit

Clickpass makes OpenID easy to use and brings OpenID closer to the mainstream than any other company has done before.

The service wraps up the complexities of OpenID such that users are presented with consistent interfaces across all of the applications they use and can access them quickly and easily without needing a password.

The company was founded in the UK but moved to Boston to take part in the summer 2007 Y-Combinator programme after which the founders moved on to San Francisco. The service went live on the 12th March 2008.
