Martin Beck says, “No one likes being forced to create another user name and password. It’s one of the biggest frustrations of the internet age. And Twitter is aiming to ease that pain with a new online sign-in protocol that uses telephone numbers to authenticate identity.

The new product, called Digits, was one of the highlights of Twitter’s Flight developers conference in San Francisco today. It’s a piece of Fabric, Twitter’s mobile app developing platform (read our full coverage of the event here) but it’s much more than just a mobile solution.

It’s available for iOS, Android and the web, giving developers and sites who implement the free service the ability to give users the simplest possible registration system. When users authenticate via Digits”.
