You may have noticed, you can signup or login to the Teachers Without Borders (TWB) Groups site with accounts that you have with other websites. The "3rd party sign in" feature allows you to login to the Teachers Without Borders site with your existing accounts on Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, Windows Live, MySpace, AOL or other networks. This article looks to explain how to use this feature to (A) Join TWB and how to (B) Configure the feature if you have already signed up.
The 3rd party sign-up feature makes it easy for you to quickly sign-up and start communicating with teachers immediately. When you sign-up using one of your pre-existing accounts, you will use that account to login to TWB in the future as well.

If you want, you can register more than one existing account (i.e. your facebook and your twitter account) after you login by going to the (1)"My Account" section of the TWB Groups site, (2) clicking the "login options" tab, and then (3)clicking "Add 3rd party identifier." and selecting the account you want to add.
If you have previously registered with Teachers Without Borders, you can still configure your account work with another account you have. To do this, login with your TWB login and (1)go to the "My Account" section of the groups site. You will see a tab at the top labeled (2)"Login options," click on it. Inside of that tab, click on the link labeled (3)"Add 3rd party identifier." You can now select the 3rd party account you wish to use to login to TWB in the future and authenticate it. After this, you will be able to login to the TWB Group site by using the 3rd party account you just authenticated.
