TYPO3 Twitter Social Login | How to Add Twitter Login in TYPO3
What is social login?
Social Login allows users to connect to any website using various networking platforms such as Facebook, Google, Twitter etc. It is a form of single sign-on for users designed and implemented to make logging in easier for end-users. Using social login users can sign into any third-party website without having to create an account.
How does Social Login Works?
The social login process is extremely simple. Users come to your website and select whichever social login provider they want to login. They fill in their details on the social network provider’s site. Once the authentication process is completed by the social provider the user can start using your TYPO3 website. If they are a new user then they are registered and if they are an existing user they are logged in.
