People consider their time precious and prefer to use their social accounts for login purpose rather than to register for a new account and password. Millions of websites now facilitate the users by social login feature, considering the fact that the traditional approach of registration and password system is no longer scalable.

The major pluses of social login are:

  • Speedy signup: Users no need to type anything, they will just allow the system to access their existing social account credentials.
  • Photo integration: The profile picture which is been assigned in the social network will be automatically imported to the new account.
  • Email id: Major social networks allows to pull the contact details of the user (such as email id), which will help the site owner to get in touch with the account holder.
  • Spam relief: Social networks will authenticate the user and allows only existing users to login socially, so the site owners can have a control over the spammers.
