Detailed Overview:

Social Login

Enables users to login to your website via their social media accounts

Benefits

1. Rapid signup/login: When using Social network for login, users do not need to type anything (most of the users are already logged into their social accounts) . It helps in boosting signup/login rate at your blog.

2. Profile Data: User’s profile data will be saved in your blog database. This data also includes users’ email, enabling you to communicate with them.

3. Spam Reduction: Because social networks authenticate individuals and generally don’t allow multiple accounts, the likelihood of false identities and spammers goes down.

What makes this plugin different and why should I choose this plugin when there are many other social plugins?

1. Free: Yea, right. It is a free plugin. You need not pay single penny to use the features of this plugin.
