    Automatic login into second site with button/link
    « on: November 11, 2013, 04:51:21 PM »
    Hello!
    After login in to my website, can the user automatically login to a second website just by pushing button/link with their stored login?
    Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks

    Urclix   :)

    It creates a security problem.

    While it is possible (assuming the site you are trying to log into doesn't offer protection against it) - This is really not something you want to be doing - You would likely end up storing passwords in plaintext (Which you should NEVER do) and if your site was compromised, then people could access the second site as well.

    If you manage both websites you would really need to look into using something like CoSign.
