Configure Pinterest Single Sign-On (SSO) with Joomla OAuth Client Plugin

Set up Single Sign-On (SSO) on your Joomla site using the Pinterest OAuth provider with the Joomla OAuth & OpenID Connect plugin. By integrating Pinterest SSO into Joomla through the OAuth 2.0 authentication protocol, users can securely log in to Joomla websites and applications by authenticating with the Pinterest OAuth provider.

The Pinterest OAuth Joomla plugin also offers advanced features such as automatic user creation, attribute mapping, and group mapping.
