A Few Questions Answered

What information is transferred when a new member signs up?

When a new member signs up with a Google or Yahoo account, we are able to automatically pull in their name and email address. When they sign up via a Facebook account, we can additionally pull in a profile photo, birthdate, gender, and in the coming weeks location, if the user allows that data to be pulled. Note that to have this new sign-up method pull profile photos, birthdates, gender and location, youll need to make sure your network has those profile questions set up.

What if an existing member tries to sign in with a different Facebook, Google, or Yahoo email address?

Undoubtedly, some existing members may try to Sign In via Facebook, Google, or Yahoo right from the Sign In page, even if they originally signed up with a different email address and password. When this happens, they'll be signed right in if the email address provided by Facebook, Google, and Yahoo matches the one they originally joined with. If it does not match, they'll be told that no account exists, and will be asked to sign in. Once they sign in, they can link their accounts (even if the email addresses are different) by going to their Settings-Connections page.
