LuxSci has supported login to Web-based email and administration consoles since January, 2009. OpenID allows users with logins to other websites to use those logins to access their LuxSci accounts as well — thus needing to remember fewer passwords, or to have enhanced security.

Now, in addition to permitting any generic OpenID login, LuxSci has specific OpenID login support for logins from Google, Windows Live ID, myOpenID, Yahoo!, Facebook, AOL, flickr, VeriSign Personal Identity Portal, Livejournal, Blogger, and WordPress.

These specific options make it easier and faster to use OpenID logins from these providers.

To use an OpenID to login to your LuxSci account, you need to login normally first, go to “Account > My Profile > OpenIDs”, and then add your OpenID login to your account as an authorized means of logging in for you.

LuxSci has enhanced the import and export features of its Blogs WebAide so that users can import content from WordPress WXR export files and can export WebAide Blog posts into WXR files for import into WordPress blogs.
