Social login

Authentication via social networks allows users to register and log in to a game through social networks that you set up in your project.

How to get it

To set up social login:

1. Complete prerequisites.
2. Complete setting up social login in Publisher Account.
3. Set up a custom OAuth 2.0-client.

Prerequisites

1. Open your project at Publisher Account.
2. Go to the Login section.
3. In the panel of a Login project:
   • Click Configure if you want to change an existing authorization option.
   • Set up a login project if you do not have authorization configured.
4. Go to your authorization variant block and choose Callback URLs.

5. Set the following parameters:
   • Callback URL — the URL or path in the application to which users are redirected after they have successfully authenticated, confirmed their email, or reset their password. You can specify multiple valid URLs.
   • Error callback URL — the URL or path in the application to which users are redirected in case of an authentication error. If no value is specified, the Callback URL value will be used.
6. Click Save changes.

Set up social in Publisher Account

1. Open your project at Publisher Account.
2. Go to the Login section.
3. Click Configure in the Login project pane.
4. In the Authentication panel, click Social login.
5. You can now connect authorization:
   • For one social network, click the ⚙ icon and select Connect.
   • Several social networks, select different panes – their borders will turn green. Then, select Connect from the Manage drop-down menu.
   • For all social networks, click Select all. Then, select Connect from the Manage drop-down menu.

Set up custom OAuth 2.0-client

1. In the social network panel, click the ⚙ icon and choose Settings.
2. Log in to the developer account of the social network.
