Abstract

A third-party service platform login method is provided for a public platform containing information of a plurality of third-party service platforms. The method includes accepting a user logging onto the public platform from a client terminal, obtaining a third-party service platform selected by the user on the public platform, and obtaining a user identification number (UIN) of the user and a UIN of the selected third-party service platform. The user'"'"'s UIN corresponds to a user account of the user on the public platform and the selected third-party service platform'"'"'s UIN corresponds to a public account of the third-party service platform on the public platform. Further, the method includes combining the UIN of the user and the UIN of the selected third-party service platform to generate a new combined user account for the user to log onto the selected third-party service platform, and logging onto the selected third-party service platform.
