Open ID
InterMine web-applications allow users to create accounts and sign in to these accounts by authenticating with a selection of Open-ID providers, including Yahoo.
To sign in with one of these authentication providers: 1. Click on '''login''' (in the upper-right). 2. Click the name of the Open-ID provider you wish to use. 3. Authenticate yourself with your provider. 4. You will be redirected to your mine when finished.
