Abstract
A method and system for providing, storing and managing a user profile. A user profile is originally stored in a central storage repository which can then be accessed by many different providers. After appropriate authentication the user profile can then be downloaded to the provider sites. This means a user does not have to enter their details many times when accessing and using different providers.
