‘Copper’ eliminates password-based signups

coppwe

If you’re a development shop looking for a seamless way to have your users sign up or sign in to a Website or an iOS mobile app, you may want to try this free service that eases things from a user’s perspective & helps you retain them without having to write code.

With ‘Copper’ your users sign up using their phone number, so your app or Website gets verified info about the users without having to get them to introduce a username & password or their social network info.  With a phone number & the info a user inputs upon signup, an iOS app or Site account is created on his behalf. The user then has the option to edit.

After the user is signed up & his account is created, he never needs to enter data if he signs in from the same browser or the phone that he signed in from before. Copper touts its product as a ‘signup as a service’, so that your users & account info belong to you, & Copper just provides the signup flow.

Basically, as Copper states in their main product Site, if you don’t use Copper, you have to:

Build authentication and password reset flows

Handle email address verification

Store passwords & fight to keep them safe

Dedicate support staff to password issues

Give away user & usage data to a social network

While if you use their service:

Welcome anyone with a mobile number

Convert & keep users with seamless authentication

Own the information users share with you

Get an upgraded signup flow with every Copper evolution

Focus on what makes your app unique

Copper is a US based startup located in San Francisco, California,created in early 2015. It has received seed venture funding & makes its product available for free, with plans to introduce premium paid services in the future to fund operations.
