A system enabling a one-click logon of a user onto a partner site where said user has an account with a repository server system, said system comprising a repository server coupleable to a communications network to receive a first coded message from a user site, wherein said coded message includes a partner site identification provided from said partner site, a user account identification, and a mapped identification of partner-site fields to be filled, said repository server providing for the verification of said partner site identification and said user account identification, and wherein said repository server selectively generates a second coded message directed to said partner-site containing login information appropriate to complete the logon of said user onto said partner site.

The system of claim 11 wherein said repository server operates to validate said user account identification against information held by said repository server specific to said user and said partner site identification against information held by said repository server specific to said partner site and wherein said repository server generates said second coded message based on information held in said user account that correlates to said partner site.

A method of enabling the secure submission of confidential user information to a partner site computer system comprising the steps of:

• a) first providing, in response to the activation of a control associated with a Web page served to a user computer system provided by said partner site computer system, a coded request message for confidential information to a predefined repository server system;
• and
• b) second providing, in response to receipt of said coded request message, a response message from said predefined repository server system containing a release set of confidential user information to said user computer system.

A method supporting the autonomous submission of user data to a client computer system over a communications network, said method comprising the steps of:

• a) issuing, in response to a single user click on a user interface control provided on a Web page served from a client computer system, a user data request determined by said client computer system specific to said Web page from said user computer system to a data repository system over said communications network;
• and
• b) returning, subject to the secure identification of said client computer system and said user computer system relative to said user data request, user data corresponding to said user data request.
