Adding social logins with popular services like Google, Microsoft, GitHub, GitLab, and LinkedIn can significantly increase user signup and login conversions on your B2B SaaS application. Scalekit’s new Social Login integration simplifies this process, enabling seamless and secure login options.
OAuth based Social Logins
OAuth (Open Authorization) is a protocol that enables secure, delegated access to resources by using tokens instead of passwords. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
- Resource Owner: User who authorizes access
- Client: Application requesting access
- Authorization Server: Server that authenticates the user and issues access tokens
- Resource Server: Server hosting the user’s resources
The flow of OAuth ensures that user credentials are never exposed to the client application, offering an additional layer of security.
