How many times have you created a new account on a website and sees a message that says: "Thanks for creating an account. To activate your new account, please enter your email and click the verification URL provided. "
Even if you just want to start using the site, this long process requires you to manually perform a lot of measures, including switching to your mailbox, trying to find the message you sent the site (which could be in your Spam folder), open the message, clicking on the link, etc. Until recently, we also need people to follow these steps if they wanted to open a Google account using their existing email address such as a @ yahoo.com, @ hotmail.com, or any other address.
To make this process easier, we are now using an Internet standard called OpenID, which is supported by many email providers, including Yahoo!. Instead of the above process, Yahoo! Users who connect with Google to see the page below with a button that sends them to Yahoo! For verification.
Once you click this button, Yahoo! Shows a page for your consent to share your e-mail with Google.
After you agree, you are finished and can start using Google services like Google Groups, Google Docs, Reader, AdWords, etc. We found that a greater number of people complete the verification process e- mail when this method is used.
In the future we hope to expand this capability to other email providers, and we also hope other Web site operators to know more about the Google Code blog how they can implement similar functionality.
