Blog: Now sign in with Twitter! (and Facebook!)
Submitted by laaabaseball on

gkurl.us now supports logging in with Twitter! Update: And Facebook too!
We've been trying to get it working for a few months, and luckily an updated version of our site has allowed us to easily implement this feature!

We're utilizing Twitter's OAuth feature to do this, and it's as easy as clicking the Login with Twitter button, and then signing into your Twitter account.
Read all about it over on our Login tools page! We hope to implement Facebook login soon :)
Update
We've been working hard the last few days, and now you can login with Facebook too!
We finally got the app all set up in the Facebook app section, and now we're full speed ahead, with all the new features.
Here's how to create an account using Facebook! (You can also connect an existing account on your My Account page)
Click the Facebook connect button in the header
This will redirect to Facebook, to retrieve your username and password. Note that gkurl.us has no access to your password at anytime, and we cannot recover it for you

Enter your user name and password, and then Enter
This will bring up the connect page. It will share with it your basic information, including your picture and email address.

Click Go to App. This authorizes gkurl.us to use your Facebook information to create an account, and allows you to login with your Facebook account.
It will then redirect you back to gkurl.us and will display a helpful message including setting a password!

Make sure to click on Account, and add a new username and password, in case you lose access to your Facebook account, then you can still recover the account on this site!
After that, your My URLS page will show up, and you can submit and save your URLS!
Thanks
