From gated content to event enrollments, social logins and easy registration are the go-to for many sites now. The website captures data and permissions from your social accounts and gives you access to the content. There are modules primarily dedicated to integrate social accounts and run the process. 

Drupal offers many modules for seamless integration of social logins for your website. 

Let’s skim through the list and their features! 

Check out this list of modules for social login in Drupal 8 and choose the one that suits you best:

OneAll Social Login

Offering 35+ social networks to login from, the OneAll Social Login is a significant module that can benefit you. It is fully compliant with European (GDPR) and U.S. data protection laws. The module monitors changes constantly and automatically updates APIs for a smooth run of the logins. The simplified process helps increase the registration rate, too.

A commonly used module, Social Auth is part of the Social API. It possesses its own content entity and stores all data in the database. With this Drupal 8 module, visitors can register on the website via 30 social networks including Slack, Reddit, Uber, and more.

The scope of the website’s request is wider and based on the authentication with Facebook services. The module also compares the user id or email address facilitated by Facebook. It automatically accepts the login if it is a returning user to the site.
