One of the most exciting features is the ability to associate multiple OpenID accounts with your Intersoft Social ID. For example, you use your Wordpress OpenID to create a new Intersoft Social ID. You also happen to have a Google ID which you can later associate it with your Intersoft Social ID. This means that you can login to Intersoft Community using your Intersoft Social ID, Wordpress account, or Google ID, but still maintain your single identity while interacting with the forum.

Tips: Associate as many OpenIDs you have as possible, just in case if you forget your Intersoft Social ID password these IDs can save your time more. Use them to login and start discussing without having to wait for the forget password email.

Login

Your Intersoft Social ID is like your passport or ID card in Intersoft community. Google ID, OpenID, and Intersoft Developer Network account are like your driving license. Both can get you logged in. It's just a matter of preference.

Use the "remember me" option to stay logged in across browser sessions. For security and safety reasons, the forum session is set to two hours. It's advisable to use "remember me" option when you accessed it in your own PC or laptop.

Forget password. Although it's almost unlikely that you're unable to login when having multiple IDs associated, this feature does what it says, retrieve your forgotten password.
