VentraConnect Social Login – Social login for WordPress with Google, Facebook, Discord & more
VentraConnect Social Login lets your visitors register and log in to your WordPress site using their existing social accounts (Google, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Discord, Reddit, etc.) instead of creating yet another username and password.
Instead of forcing users through long registration forms, they can sign up or sign in with a single click using familiar providers. This reduces friction, improves conversion rates, and gives your site a modern SaaS-style login experience.
The free plugin works out-of-the-box with the default WordPress login and registration forms, supports 15+ providers, account linking, profile sync, and includes new account guardrails plus email notifications when a new account is created via social login.
Integrations with popular plugins (WooCommerce, LMS, and membership plugins), passwordless login (Magic Link & Email OTP), strict passwordless modes, analytics, and advanced redirect rules are available in the VentraConnect Social Login Pro add-on.
