How to Integrate Social Login Extension in TYPO3

TYPO3 Social login extension is such a solution that allows users to sign in to a website using their existing social media accounts, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more social networks. Instead of creating a new username and password, users can authenticate through their preferred social network, making the process faster, safer, and more user-friendly.

With the Social Login Extension, website owners can integrate social media login integration into their sites, enhancing both engagement and user experience.

When you visit a website, before you can access content or services, you’re asked to create an account. You have to enter your name and email, create a password (that must be long and complex), and then verify your email. Sounds tiring, right?

A long, lengthy sign-up process leads to lost users and abandoned registrations. Many forget passwords or avoid filling out multiple fields. TYPO3 Social Login simplifies this!

How Social Login Solves the Problem

• Faster Authentication – Users don’t have to enter usernames or passwords. One-click login gets them instant access.
• Increased User Registrations – Many people avoid signing up due to long forms. With social login, registration happens automatically, increasing sign-ups.
• Enhanced Security – Social plugin user authentication, which is more secure than traditional passwords. No more weak or reused passwords!
• Better User Retention – If logging in is easy, users are more likely to return to your website. No login friction means higher engagement.
• Perfect for Mobile Users – Typing login details on mobile devices can be annoying. Social login is mobile-friendly, allowing users to log in with a single click.

Adding social login to TYPO3 reduces bounce rates caused by traditional login methods. Instead of dealing with forgotten passwords or lengthy registrations, users can access your site instantly with Google, Facebook, or other social accounts.

Users can choose how they want to log in, making the process more convenient and user-friendly. The TYPO3 Social Login Extension offers two display options:

• Inline Login (On the Same Page) - The social login buttons appear directly on the login or registration page.
• Popup Login (Quick Access) - A small login window pops up when users click the social login button.

The TYPO3 Social Login Extension allows you to customize button styles and labels to match your brand. With easy-to-use options, you can personalize login buttons to create a seamless user experience.
