# Sign in with LinkedIn to comment

This article was prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by a person before publication.

You can now sign in with LinkedIn to comment on any Namegarage blog post.
Choose the LinkedIn circle under the comment form, allow the Namegarage app on
LinkedIn, and you are back on the post with your LinkedIn name beside the
box. There is no new password and no form to fill in.

## What LinkedIn grants, and what we use

The app uses LinkedIn's Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect product,
which grants it your name, profile photo, and email address, and nothing
more. Namegarage uses the name and the provider beside your comment. The
email address stays in the sign-in database, is never published, and is kept
only when LinkedIn reports it verified. The app cannot see your connections,
posts, or messages, never posts from your account, and never sees your
LinkedIn password. You can remove it at any time under **Permitted services**
in your LinkedIn data privacy settings.

## The same moderation

Comments still go through review before publication, whichever account you
use. You can read posts and approved comments without an account. See the
[comment privacy notice](/blog/comments-privacy) for storage and removal
details, the [X announcement](/blog/sign-in-with-x-for-blog-comments) for how
X sign-in works, and the
[earlier announcement](/blog/account-sign-in-for-blog-comments) for Google,
GitHub, and Apple.
