Other day I brought before you a web based personal assistant which allows you to keep track of your usernames and passwords you use to access various web based services. The service, named Pageonce, delivers everything Web users love about the Internet including relevant products, services and offers, and nothing they don’t.
The service increases the security of your Internet accounts by assigning different user names and passwords to each account and managing them from Pageonce. The service allows you to manage all family members’ frequent flyer accounts from one place, defend against identity theft & online fraud by being aware of account statuses in real time.
Today, I am presenting before you another web service that offers the same genere or service named, MashedLife. The service allows you to access all of your online accounts from one secure place, log in to Facebook, YouTube, online forums, Digg, or any sites from any PC, Mac, even an iPhone w/o typing username/password.
MashedLife is not only for the busy trendy types. For senior & little family members who can’t keep track of their online fun & social accounts, you should set up MashedLife accounts for them.

The service is free, so other than having to clear the hurdle of consciously entrusting it with your login information, its a quick test. It is also being positioned as a very safe and secure facilitator. Once your information is saved, and you later return to a page, a MashedLife bookmarklet sends the website data and a “big random number” to request information registered with the service. This process is said to operate “on top of SSL.” once MashedLife authenticates the transmission, it “encrypts and sends it back via the secure HTTPS session.”
When you navigate to a site’s login page, click on mashed life’s bookmark from the browser. From your browser, the mashed life bookmark sends the login page and a big random number with the request as the key to further encrypt the communication on top of SSL.The bookmark is actually a “bookmarklet”, a small piece of Javascript code that performs the bookmark login action for you.
Because the bookmarklet code knows which site you are at when you click on the login bookmark, you need only one Mashed life login bookmark to log in to all sites.
Mashed life bookmarklet decodes encrypted information inside your browser, fills in your account login information, and logs you in. All this happens with just one click without the user to type in the username/password.
Mashed Life is not a proxy. It is just filling out the login form to help the user log in, then transfers the control back to the user’s browser to communicate with the target site directly. No communication goes through Mashed Life after you are logged in to the target site.
Mashed life supports Yubikey for strong authentication. And the login is immune from key logger attacks in this way:
The difference between Pageonce and MashedLife is that MashedLife uses a Secure Socket Layer for its transactions, and I think this is an advantage of MashedLife.
