Nozbe helps people get things done in many ways… on many devices. We started out as a web application to be used mainly in front of user’s computer and now you can access your Nozbe account through iPhone or any mobile phone for that matter, you can print out your Nozbe’s to-do lists in a variety of ways (Wallet, Pocket… etc.) so basically there is no excuse for you – you have to get things done when using Nozbe.

I cannot express how happy I am people dig so much our iNozbe (the version of Nozbe for your iPhone, iGoogle and Netvibes), here’s what folks have said:

"This is crazy great! It is super fast. I cannot believe how fast it is." (CaitlinS)

"Wow, this is a really great iPhone application, Michael…nice job." (rcavin)

and Nozbe.mobi (the mobile phone friendly interface) is also many people’s favorite:

"Again, amazing job on the cell access, this opens a whole new productivity world for Blackberry users…" (muka1024)

"Nozbe Mobi – a great feature that I’m in love with already! It works really great, and now I can finally add and review my actions while on the go as well! Ohh, this is great!!!!" (ntpruk)

And the list of positive feedback goes on…

However – good things can be better – so we have started improving some of the aspects of iNozbe and Nozbe.mobi… and the most requested feature was – make logging in shorter (ie. less typing).

Typically you log in to Nozbe with your email address and password. Both of which can be quite long. Now we’ve found a nice solution for that. You can use alternative way of logging in to your Nozbe account – using Nozbe-ID.

Introducing Nozbe-ID

Nozbe-ID is nothing more than your nickname and a short PIN code – defined by you in Nozbe’s settings. Just click on "Settings" when logged in to Nozbe and you will see the Nozbe-ID section:

Just choose a nickname (can be as short as 4 characters) and a PIN code (again, 4 digits is the minimum) and presto!

Now you can log out from Nozbe and log in using your Nickname/PIN combination instead of Email/password. This new login procedure works in all flavors of Nozbe – Nozbe, iNozbe and Nozbe.mobi.

Just have a look:

You can log in using Email/Password combination:

or Nickname/PIN combination:

It’s up to you! ... and this method works for Nozbe, Nozbe.mobi and iNozbe - try this today!

Note: Nicknames are unique – so you can only get a nick that nobody chose before. Combining this with PIN makes your account as secure as ever.

One more thing: You can always remove your Nickname and PIN if you feel this option compromises your account’s security. (just make the "Nickname" and "PIN" fields blank and save changes).

Hope you like the new way of logging in to Nozbe.
