Claim:
A process for an authentication and form-filling system that is transparent to users in a computer environment, comprising the steps of: providing a trusted server; receiving an authentication token from a third party site; the trusted server authenticating said third party site as a partner site; and the trusted server filling in user registration forms from said third party site with a user's information if said third party site is a partner; providing a user database; wherein said user database contains user personal information; wherein said form filling step looks up the user's information from said user database; wherein said user database contains user filter preferences, said filter preferences defining what user information is allowed to be released and under the conditions of any release of information; wherein said form filling step uses the user's filter preferences from said user database to determine what information is entered into said third party's form; and wherein said form filling step fills in information that the user has deemed to be a low security risk if said third party is not a partner.
