Embodiments of this application provide an account binding method, a device, and a
system, and relate to the field of electronic technologies. A HiBoard can replace a third-party quick application to obtain an
OpenID corresponding to a user account of the HiBoard, to bind a user account of a third-party application to the user account of the HiBcard by using the
OpenID, thereby reducing development
workload of the third-party application, simplifying a procedure for binding the accounts of the third-party application and the HiBoard, and improving efficiency and flexibility of account binding. A specific solution is as follows: An electronic device logs in to a user account of a first application. After detecting a first preset operation of a user, the electronic device obtains, by using the first application, an
OpenID corresponding to the user account of the first application, where the first preset operation is used to indicate to associate a second application with the first application. The electronic device sends the OpenlD of identity information of the second application to a
server of the first application, and obtains account binding success information from the
server of the first application. The embodiments of this application are used for account binding.
