Mitto's New Top Login Subscription Feed

One of Mitto’s core features is the ability to log in to many websites, simply by clicking on one of the One-Click login links. This gets even better now that you can access these links from anywhere that allows you to add an RSS feed, such as iGoogle, Netvibes and your browser’s Live Bookmarks.

Secure

When we first started working on this feature, I was skeptical about its security implications. After its implementation I’m convinced its totally secure. The subscription feed simply generates links that will redirect you through Mitto to your service. So, if your not logged in to Mitto, the link won’t work. Very secure.

Another note related to security - the feed only lists the name of the sites you are logging into, and not the usernames. This is for two reasons:

  1. If the content is accidentally found, nothing linking that list of sites to you can be uncovered from it - keeping your identity private.
  2. The way it connects to the server, it’s impossible for the server to decrypt that information.  So, if the feed is discovered, and someone finds a way through our multiple layers of security to execute arbitrary code on our servers, they are still out of luck trying to break into your account. Not that we expect anyone gain that level of access to our servers, but all of our security is multi-layered like this just in case.

Get Creative

Since the Top-One Click logins feed is essentially an RSS feed, you can use it anywhere you access your RSS feeds usually. The options are limitless, giving you the opportunity to come up with a solution that suits your workflow.

Feel free to give us some feedback about this. Have you used it, and liked it? Is there something more we can add? Let us know.
