Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a technology for storing login information. Prior Technology

[0002] Use e-commerce services that allow users to purchase goods in an online store. Users of the e-commerce service can log in to their accounts to purchase goods in the e-commerce service's online store and take advantage of the benefits offered to logged-in members.

[0003] If users are unaware of the benefits offered to logged-in members within the e-commerce service, the number of users logging out may increase. Furthermore, logged-out users must accurately enter their account ID and / or password and pass other authentication methods to log back into the e-commerce service. Repeated login failures during this process may lead them to abandon the login attempt. If the number of user logouts and login failures increases as described above, the likelihood of users abandoning purchases through the e-commerce service increases, resulting in a decline in sales from the online store.
