Akeeba SocialLogin

Introduction

Authentication, Authentication bridges, Authentication - Cloud based, Social Media

Allow your users to log in with their social media profile (Facebook, Twitter etc) or account (GitHub, Google, Microsoft).

Moreover, it allows new users to register to your site using their social media account. For example, someone can create a user account on your site using their Facebook login, without going through Joomla's user registration process. The created user accounts can either be activated immediately (e.g. when it's a verified Facebook account, i.e. Facebook has verified the user's email and/or mobile phone number) or go through Joomla's account activation process (click on the link sent by email). This is faster for the user and easier for you, since in most cases the email address of the user has already been verified by the social network and they don't have to go through Joomla's email address verification.

The following social networks are supported

Facebook
LinkedIn
Twitter

The following third party services are supported:

GitHub account
Google account
Microsoft account

Functionality

Allows users to securely login via their chosen Social media platform, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Github and many more.

Ease of use

Akeeba makes the process as simple as possible. It takes a little time to set up access for each platform but each step is explained clearly

Support

Not had to use it, however, Nicholas Dionysopoulos is a developer of high standing so no detail is missed.

Documentation

Clear and shows a full understanding of the solution, common issues covered. Thorough and detailed

I used this to: Allowing users quick access to ecommerce sites. Vastly increased customer registrations and stopped spam accounts dead.

Works well, I tried some other extentions like this but this does the job

Ease of use

I managed to set it up and use it the first time, whereas other similar extensions didn't work like that or didn't work at all.

Support

there was no need to contact support, and I don't know why I would need to write 3 characters it that is the case

Documentation

never looked, and I don't know why I would need to write 3 characters it that is the case

I used this to: testing some features, and I don't know why I would need to write 3 characters it that is the case

Very good and well documented
