## 3rd-party authentication
11+
12+
If you have already have an account on [OpenStreetMap](https://openstreetmap.org), you can use that account as an authentication provider whenever you login into OIM. How does this work? The process differs a bit based on whether you are creating a new OIM account or already have one and want to link OSM to it, but the result is the same: An OIM account that is completely independent of OpenStreetMap, *but*, instead of entering a password to signin you will login to OSM and be redirected back to OIM.
13+
14+
When creating a new account, you can use an existing account on **OpenStreetMap** as your authentication provider. Using a 3rd-party during account creation means you will not need to create a new password for your OIM account (though you can create an password later if you want).
15+
16+
You can ease the signin process by linking your OIM account with an existing account on another platform, such as OpenStreetMap.
