Abstract

In one embodiment, techniques include storing indications of unique identifiers used by users of service providers that are part of a federated system. Each of the unique identifiers is associated with only one user. A computing system of a first service provider receives an intent to register a unique identifier with the first service provider. The computing system determines availability of the unique identifier based on determining whether the unique identifier is associated with another user in the data store. Based at least in part on the determination that the unique identifier is available, the computing system maps, in the data store, the unique identifier with an account of the user associated with each service provider that is part of the federated system. Subsequent to the mapping, the unique identifier is usable as a proxy in lieu of personal data associated with the user on each service provider.
