VP Social Login - Introduction

VP Social Login adds one-click social sign-in to your Joomla site — Google, Discord, GitHub and Telegram — right inside the native login form. Members can also link or unlink providers from their own profile, and there's a standalone module for any template position.

What's in the package

VP Social Login installs as a single package containing three parts that work together:

• System plugin — the core. Handles the OAuth flow with each provider, adds the social buttons to the Joomla login form, and powers linking and unlinking.
• User plugin — adds the Connected accounts section to the user profile, where members manage their providers.
• Module — a standalone social-login block you can publish in any module position or inside an article.

Supported providers

Four providers are included, all free to set up:

• Google, Discord and GitHub — standard OAuth 2.0.
• Telegram — login through a Telegram bot.

How it works

Once a provider is enabled, its button appears in the Joomla login form automatically — no shortcodes or template edits.

Logged-in members open their profile to connect or disconnect providers from the Connected accounts panel. When a user is deleted, their social links are removed automatically.

Requirements

• Joomla 5.0+ or 6.0+
• PHP 8.1 or newer
• An HTTPS site (required by the providers)
• One OAuth application per provider you enable (free to create)
