Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to a simplified login for mobile devices. In aspects, on a first logon, a mobile device asks a user to enter credentials and a PIN. The credentials and PIN are sent to a server which validates user credentials. If the user credentials are valid, the server encrypts data that includes at least the user credentials and the PIN and sends the encrypted data to the mobile device. In subsequent logons, the user may logon using only the PIN. During login, the mobile device sends the PIN in conjunction with the encrypted data. The server can then decrypt the data and compare the received PIN with the decrypted PIN. If the PINs are equal, the server may grant access to a resource according to the credentials.

A generating unit of an information sharing system generates, in a case where one of a plurality of users enters a comment, notice information for notifying the other users of a notification of the comment. When the user who enters the comment specifies a destination of the comment, a destination associating unit associates destination identifying information for identifying the specified destination with the notice information. A display information generating unit generates display information for displaying, on a display unit of the user, a screen on which the notification of the comment that specifies the user as the destination is distinguished from the notification of the comment that does not specify the user as the destination, based on the notice information and the destination identifying information.
