Table of Contents
Social login is a sign-in type that uses pre-existing login information from a social networking service to sign into a third-party website instead of requiring to create a new account on site. This form of sign-in provides excellent benefits for both customers and web administrators.
Advantages Of Magento 2 Social Login
Magento 2 Social Login brings many excellent benefits for both customers and web administrators.
For customer
1. Easy sign-in/registration process
Within a few clicks, customers can register a new account on the website without having to fill in the long registration form manually. By simply granting your website system access to their social media accounts, customers can sign in or register quickly and easily.
2. Better control of online accounts
Online users usually possess many accounts at once, and the last thing they need is to remember another username and password on your site. According to a recent survey, 92% of users will leave a website instead of resetting or recovering login info. Thus, integrating social login to your site will allow a customer to use other account information to sign in, which results in better control of their online accounts.
For admin
1. Spam reduce
Admin can check the authentication of users’ accounts through their identity provided by the social networks. Thus there is less chance of false information submission from users or spam accounts created by robots.
2. Email collection
When customers sign in through their social accounts, admin can easily obtain contact details like an email address. This can reduce the possibility of submitting fabricated email in the registration process as the email has already proved its validation. Besides, it would also be more comfortable for admin to keep communication with a customer through authenticated emails.
3. Target Content
Since a website can gather more accurate data, especially user profile and other information such as name, email, interests, activities… it would be easier to develop more personalized content to customers, for example sending data that is of their investments.
