  "title": "37signals ID begins rolling out",
  "note": "37signals ID, our new single sign-in system is beginning to roll out to customers (starting with our Max and Premium plan customers). Over the next week we'll roll it out to more and more people. By the end of the week (around the 18th) we expect the upgrades to be rolled out to everyone.\n\n\nHere's a list of many of the major changes that come along with the 37signals ID username and password system upgrade. We'll be providing more detail on some of these in the coming week.\n\n\nLaunchpad (global)\n\n\nIntroduced Launchpad. Visible to anyone with multiple accounts tied to a 37signals ID or Open ID. The Launchpad shows up when someone signs in from 37signals.com or a product marketing site home page. Also linked from the in-app Launchbar.\nThe Launchpad displays all accounts linked to your 37signals ID. Each product gets a column, and each account gets a row. Drag and drop reorder columns and rows. Single click sign-in to any listed account.\nEdit Identity: Edit your 37signals ID name, email, avatar, username, and password. Switch between OpenID and 37signals ID username and password.\nSettings: Assign nicknames to each product account. Hide accounts you don't want displayed on the Launchpad or Launchbar.\n\n\nLaunchbar (global)\n\n\nRenamed Launchbar (was called Openbar for OpenID users).\nEveryone with more than one account attached to their 37signals ID sees the Launchbar at the top of the screen when they're in an app.\nHorizontal application order, and vertical account order, mirrors the layout on the Launchpad. User configurable via drag and drop reordering on the Launchpad.\n\n\nSign-in screens (global)\n\n\nResetting your password asks for your email address instead of your username.\nIntroduced temporary tokenized sign-in link if your OpenID provider is down. This allows you to still access your accounts if your OpenID provider is offline or unavailable for any reason.\nModernized the design of the in-app login screens with the rounded edges tablet design. Otherwise the same.\nCustomers who have custom sign-in screens on their own site can update their forms with this new form code.\n\n\nEdit user (global)\n\n\nEveryone's \"My Info\" screen shows 37signals ID card (with a user's real avatar) and a link to edit info in the light blue header. Note: Basecamp clients don't see \"37signals ID\" branding.\nAvatars are now global. Upload an avatar to your identity and it's updated across all your accounts that use the same 37signals ID.\n\n\nReset password (global)\n\n\nNew reset password screens. Enter email and get password recovery link sent via email. Actual passwords not sent though email.\nUsername and password can't be the same for security purposes.\nLegacy users (users who haven't gone through transition) continue get old password email.\n\n\nRSVP - accepting an invitation to create an account (global)\n\n\nNew invitation emails include a link to choose a username and password.\nNew create an identity screen (pick a username and password).\nPeople can choose to use their OpenID, create a new 37signals ID, or link to an existing 37signals ID they already set up.\nSpecial Basecamp client-view of the RSVP create a username and password screen doesn't show 37signals ID name/branding.\nNew success screen overlay replaces the old \"bookmark this page\" message above the sign-in screen. Newly designed success email as well.\nLive username and password validation.\n\n\n\nIn Basecamp\n\n\nAdded a link on the edit person screen that allows admins to fire off a \"here's how you recover your username/password\" to any user. Admins can use this if one of their users forgets their username or password.\nAdded a link to edit person to resend the original \"set up your account\" email.\nUsers pick their own username and password. Admins create users by entering their first name, last name, email address, and any contact information they want. The system then sends an invite to the email address with a link to the new user to create a username and password.\n\n\nIn Highrise\n\n\nAdded extra email fields to the dropbox email screen. This allows someone to tell Highrise other email addresses they may use so Highrise recognizes them when they forward an email to their dropbox.\nSeparated users from contacts. A user can be a user without also being a contact.\nExport data link moved from edit contact to edit user.\n\"Import from Basecamp\" feature now uses an API token instead of username/password fields. Changed to improve security.\n\n\nIn Campfire\n\n\nAdded support for OpenID.\n\n\nThanks again for your patience during this long-term project. This upgrade addresses a variety of top customer requests and lays the foundation for us to deliver even more good stuff in 2010. Stay tuned!\n\n",
