Introducing Facebook Sign Up and Sign In on LeoFinance | Onboarding Web2 to Web3 Just Got 10x Easier
Every new user that comes to LeoFinance.io now has the option to sign up and sign in using their Web2 Facebook account.
This new LeoInfra update links your facebook account to your new HIVE account on LeoFinance.io. New Users will not have to download the Hive Keys unless they chose to - this is the key to onboarding the masses. Make it easy upfront and then drip feed the information to them over the long-term as they familiarize with the platform.
Over time, we will encourage people to protect their LEO by downloading their Hive Keys but the point is just to make the Sign up process easier to begin with and then get them deeper into the process.
This will be huge for LeoFinance as it makes the entrance into Web3 much more accessible to people who aren't as knowledgeable of all of the inner workings. This new method of access will assist in making the new user experience much easier - opening the doors to even more new users.
This is a great step towards LeoMerge coming in the sooniverse™️!
We talk about this and more in this clip from the Weekly AMA!

I just started following Mark Zukerberg on Facebook. He's Just so crazy with growing the meta family. That's the push we need with Crypto dapps and communities. Thanks that Leofinance's Khal is helping us achieve that here.

Thank you! Zucks sucks. I think his time has passed. Time for a new era of social media

Web3 > Web2
Most think they need to fight web2. We don’t think that. We use Web2 to onboard web3

This is really nice seeing such happening with Facebook coming through with the aspect of signing in leofinance.io which is definitely an awesome development coming from the leo team which am impressed with this happening in the blockchain.

This would help users across several age ranges to onboard Hive and begin engagement on leofinance.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It will, and that is pretty cool. We need more users that are active and engaging.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
More users is our #1 KPI: Monthly Active Users 📈
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Doing my bit by motivating others 😉😁
I so know…
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good point. I haven't considered the age barrier. That should really help

100% Facebook offers a very different demographic for us. These web2 easy onboarding access points allow anyone to join, engage and earn
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Engagement is on the rise. 10k comments this week?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We’ve already seen a lot of signups through it! I’m excited
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ooo that is truly great news!!!!! Yeah 🤩😎 exciting indeed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sign up just made easier with this new method of access. This method would help greatly in onboarding the masses.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True. Hopefully we can get them to stick around and engage on the platform.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Our engagement is what creates stickiness for the community and platform. I’m excited to see some new faces each week :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The masses are coming, the masses are coming!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome step with this development. This is the right bridge to shift the mass from web 2 to web 3. Great job for including this method of access
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
One small step for Leo, one giant leap for Hive!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is a brilliant idea, I love it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Brilliant is just an understatement. I wish there was a better word.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol, you are right. Each day I keep falling in love with leofinance and hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Really glad to hear that! This is just the beginning!!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you!

My friend is stuck because of low ip score error and don't know much about discord so he stuck without an account. I will recommend him this way and if it works, I will come back to it and update what happened by editing it. If I forgot remind me. :)
Account creation from Leofinance interface has been hitch free so far.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, I hope that helps him.
I never had that issue before but I've heard about it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Onboarding though LeoFinance is the easiest way to create an account by far!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bottlenecks to entry had been a long sustained problem of web3 socialmedia. Thanks to Leofinance for helping to break this limitation which would make onboarding easier.
People have been so obsessed with web2 socialmedia which has witnessed tremendous growth and user satisfaction. Modelling web2 functionalities on a web3 technology is an amazing start into the future of crypto/blockchain mass adoption.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Web2 tech imported to Web3 is an amazing onboarding point to get people to leap from 2 to 3
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's really important to offer people the convenience of signing up. I remember when I first registered, I waited about 2 weeks for the confirmation email to come. It is now possible to join the Hive in seconds.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol yeah I remember that too! It’s funny that onboarding to a decentralized ecosystem required a centralized company to email you your private keys 2 weeks after telling them you wanted to sign up.
Looking back on steemit, I see so much missed potential they failed to capture in so many ways. Easy onboarding is at the top of that list
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely steemit missed a lot of opportunities and it feels great to see them resolved here. We can already see the benefits of working with a focus on the future and innovation.
Joining even WEB 2 platforms has become quite difficult. In WEB 3 you show us how easy this can be.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good old 2017-2018 Steem days hahaha! I must have waited for like a month or so to get my keys!
Good job Leofinance team :D
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is really a good development,I am very sure it will definitely going to attract a lot of users to hive,
