# Use Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and OpenID accounts to log into my site

## [Use Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and OpenID accounts to log into my site](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/use-facebook-google-yahoo-and-openid-accounts-to-log-into-my-site)

    22nd Dec 2009   [google](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:google#body-wrapper) [web](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:web#body-wrapper)  

Some friends have been following links from [LiveJournal](https://stevenjaycohen.livejournal.com), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/stevenjaycohen), and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stevenjaycohen) back to this site and have been wondering about how to log in here (so they are not commenting anonymously).

If you go to the Log In link at the top of the page, you will see a way to log in with Facebook or OpenID (Yahoo uses OpenID).

And, if you click to reply to a message and are not logged in, you will see this button to connect using Google Friend Connect.

Using any of these methods will create an account on this system that is linked to your existing account.

Hope that helps!
