How should we build signup and login for apps to increase app conversion?

It needs to be simple. End-users tend to shy away from tedious onboarding processes or only get halfway through before they give up. How do some of the most successful and popular apps deal with this situation?

They use OpenID Connect. It is a standardized protocol for sharing end-user data in a secure and controlled manner. With OpenID Connect, end-users can signup and login to a new app using their existing account (e.g. from Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft). This makes signup and login so smooth and simple.

Exploring how OpenID Connect works, with its tokens, flows, and APIs is the subject of this new OpenID Connect Book.
