User information population

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for populating user related information, such as in forms at web sites. For example, a method can include providing a web site with information about a user during the front end of accessing the web site by the user. The information can be used to facilitate use of the web site by the user. A system for facilitating access of a web site by a user can comprise an ID provider that is configured to receive a request from a web site for information regarding a user, request information regarding the user from an information provider, and forward the information to the web site. By providing such information to the web site, log on, sign in, and/or registration with a web site can be done quickly, conveniently, and in a manner that is substantially less prone to errors.
