Social Login is a feature that allows website visitors to sign up or log in using their existing social media accounts instead of creating new credentials. This eliminates the need to remember another username and password combination.

When you click a social login button (like Login with Facebook, Sign in with Google, or Continue with Twitter), you are redirected to that platform to authorize the connection. The website then receives basic, pre-approved information from your profile.

For hosting clients and website owners, implementing social login offers significant benefits:

• Improved User Experience: Faster, one-click registration reduces sign-up friction.
• Higher Conversion Rates: Simplified process leads to more completed registrations.
• Reduced Password Issues: Fewer "forgot password" support requests.
• Verified Email Addresses: Social platforms typically provide verified emails, improving data quality.

The information shared is controlled by the social platform's permissions. Typically, a website might request and receive:

• Your public name
• Email address
• Profile picture

You can always review what data is being requested and revoke access later from your social media account settings. It's a convenient and secure method that simplifies your online experience while keeping you in control of your personal information.
