Salesforce.com’s login screen allows you to bookmark your account with your username and password in the URL and when used

We decided to emulate the same functionality. As long as you are using “https” in the URL, your password is still safe being transmitted over the internet. You just need to take extra precaution that no one has access to your iPhone because this one link will log you into your account directly. Let’s try it out…

First, open iPhone Safari and navigate to mintfly.com (stay on the login page)

Click the “+” to create a bookmark

Click “Add Bookmark”

Accept the default bookmark (we can’t edit the url yet) by tapping “Done”

Open your bookmarks by clicking on the book link at the bottom of the screen

When viewing your list of bookmarks, click the “Edit” button at the bottom of the screen

Now tap the name “MintFly.com” or the “>” symbol to edit the urls (final step)

The original url should be “https://mintfly.com/app/login.php” and you will want to add your username and password (even token if you want) to this url. You will need to type this at the end of the URL:

?un=username@salesforce.com&pw=mypassword123

Replace “joe@salesforce.com” with your username and replace “mypassword123″ with your password (add token if you did not grant network access).

Your new url should look like this:

https://mintfly.com/app/login.php?un=username@salesforce.com&pw=mypassword123

Tap the “Done” button and your bookmark will now log you in directly!
