Today’s announcement focuses around some recent changes we’ve made to how Social Influencer accounts function and how this relates to you. In other words, we’ve changed some things to make everybody happy and we hope you like them 😊

Signup Like a Human Bein’

One of the key tenets of VITY from day 1 was to make signing up and logging into VITY as painless and easy as possible. Literally, zero barrier to entry, or as close to it as we could make it.  Add to that the other key tenet of VITY that all Social Influencer accounts are verified to prevent imposters, and a social login system made sense. Lots and lots of sense actually. You want to represent your Twitter profile, so why not have user’s login and sign up using Twitter?

Well, because as it turns out, VITY is used primarily on mobile. Yeah, we were surprised too. But this meant that, since most users of Twitter, Facebook, et al, have dedicated apps for mobile. Which meant that users on mobile weren’t logged into their social accounts on their mobile network. So that sucked for them. Not good at all actually. 

So we’ve made some changes to help that. You can now signup and log into VITY using traditional methods of email and password registration. No one is forced to use social login any longer 😊

Yayyy!!!!
