In 2009 Paul Trevithick co-founded and began co-chairing the Kantara Initiative’s Universal Login User Experience Working Group (ULX WG) alongside Bob Morgan, Internet2 and Michael Graves, JanRain/OIDF.
The Universal Login User Experience Working Group (ULX WG) looks at the Universal Login Experience – we all know how to sign in to a site using username and password. But what if the site also wants to offer SAML, OpenID, or Infocard? Or all three! What’s the experience then? How can we make this understandable and measurably workable by mere mortals? What’ the UX with and without an active client? We’re trying to answer questions like these. Lots of details like, is the button that kicks this off called “log in”, “sign in” or “connect”?
