Social Login with Auth0

There is an important truth behind the human behavior when they are in front of any registration form. Most of your users will hate your application if you make them waste their valid time asking for personal information that they have already filled in their favorite social network. Even if you try to create the best user experience for your SIGN UP form, they will avoid them. So, how do we make our users happy and avoid them having to do this horrible sign-up process? Social Login integration to the rescue!

Implementing Social Login might be repetitive work in case you have multiple social networks that you need to integrate into your application. Instead of implementing everything yourself, why don't we use an existing service that can help us in this process? Auth0 to the rescue!

Let's implement Social Login in just 3 minutes. Yeah! you read well, just 3 minutes. Go ahead and navigate to your Auth0 dashboard at https://manage.auth0.com and navigate to the Connections/Social menu. Then, go ahead and activate the social networks that you want to integrate with your authentication flow, as follows:

As you can see, I have enabled Google and Facebook for the authentication flow. Remember that you will need to register an application on Facebook and Twitter first and then use the keys generated to configure the Social Login methods.

We are almost done. To finish the process, we just need to tell our client application that we want to enable social login. To do this, let's navigate to the Clients menu and get into the MyAuth0App client application. Then, navigate to the Connections tab and enable Facebook and Twitter in the Social section, as demonstrated:

Once we have everything configured, the next time when your users try to log in to the application, they will see the following form:

Cool! Now we know how to integrate our applications to allow our users to sign in to our application, allowing them to use their favorite social network accounts.
