Access, protect and share sounds so repeated with a new service popping up to offer them. Things that make them stand apart from each other the first time you see them are logos, the names and the layouts. One wonders what happens when the user eventually gets caught in the web of these one-stop services as well. VeriSign’s PIP: Personal Identity Portal offers the same; managing your online identity without compromising your privacy.
PIP uses OpenID to enable secure interactions that are done online amongst various accounts, relieving the user of the need to keep track of the many passwords and other login details they have amassed over time. Using various authentication types PIP makes sure things get easy and highly secure for its users and for that it uses SSL encryption plus controlling your interactions with identity agent of your choice.
What PIP does is add extra layers of the users’ identity protection using PIP account plus letting you upgrade to the low cost VIP credential that give users added protection. Apart from that it lets its user decide what information they want to share and what not, which include link to your profiles over the various social networks as well.
So what can make it stand out from the others we have lined up to offer users the same? We think that the name VeriSign would do a lot to help boost user trust into the services as it has over the years protected and made secure the many interactions taking place online globally.
I guess it turns out to be quite difficult for such services especially given the fact that they have got quite a lot of competition before they step into the arena. The user gets stranded over making the choice and most of them usually prefer the old method of memorizing the login information for the numerous services I am a part of. It usually comes off to experiencing the service itself before the user actually makes up a decision what service the user continues to be a part of. And they better decide fast before they have a countless accounts for such services as well.
