What do you use for social login?
Hey there,
I'm nurturing the dream of implementing some sort of social login for everycars.co kind of the same we can find on our incredible makerlog community or even on Produchunt.
Nurturing a dream? Yes, because I'm quite limited in my coding skills and each time I find a great piece of feature to implement I'm locked because of the technos used.
But anyway, if you have any recommendations on easy tools to use to implement a social login on my project that could be cool!
I'm thinking about login with twitter, facebook, google…
Thx 😉😉😉
For me if-else ladder goes like this ->
- Apple (because I can choose to hide my email if I want to, though mostly I don't)
Also depends on platform, for a developer related platform I always prefer GitHub login.
Recommended tool: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth is the best
I've read some stats last year that the large majority of users choose Google, followed by Facebook, followed by a tiny group of those who choose Twitter. Fortunately, once you implement OpenID Connect - adding more providers is easy. Of course, it all depends on the nature of your product. For developers I would definitely use Github, for makers/indie hackers - Twitter etc.
@zsergo My target audience is "classic car lovers"… So I assume they can be very different from one to another, but still I assume most off them have a google account
I’m actual moving away from passwords and social logins. Instead, I’m sending a one-time login link via email.
Your mileage may vary, depending on users:

@FaizMetronome That's a great way to do, I've seen it while using workflowy and loving it! I assume my targeted users are not familiar enough with this system… I will wait a bit before proposing them
I implemented password-less authentication on https://budg.co using email (magic link) and google OAuth. I can advise you https://magic.link to do this 😊
@matthieuh seems great!! thank you for this resource! Gonna have a look!
If there any library that can allow social login inside an iframe as well?
FYI, I'm using next.js for my app.
