Most applications and websites nowadays have the option of registering or signing in with social network accounts.

Why did it become a new standard? Let’s see what advantages the SNS sign-in offers. 🔎

  1. Simplified registration and login process: Social sign-in eliminates the need for users to create new accounts and remember additional login credentials, resulting in a smoother and more user-friendly experience.
  2. Increased user conversion and engagement: By providing social sign-in options, you can reduce friction during the registration process, leading to higher user conversion rates. Users are more likely to sign up or log in when they can utilize their preferred social media accounts. Additionally, social sign-in can encourage users to engage more actively with your application or website since they can easily access it using their existing social media profiles.
  3. Access to user profile information: When users sign in through social media, you can request access to certain profile information, with their consent. Such data may include their name, email address, profile picture, friend list, or other details, depending on the platform. This information can be valuable for personalizing the user experience, targeting content, and facilitating social interactions within your application.
  4. Improved trust and security: Social media platforms implement robust security measures to protect user accounts. By leveraging social sign-in, you can benefit from the security infrastructure provided by these platforms, including features like two-factor authentication and account recovery options. Users often trust established social media platforms more than unknown applications, increasing the perceived security of your own application.
  5. Social sharing and network effect: Integrating social sign-in enables users to easily share content from your application or website on their social media profiles. This can help increase your application’s visibility and attract new users. Additionally, social sign-in allows users to connect with their friends or contacts who are also using your application, fostering a network effect and potentially driving user engagement.
  6. Support for multiple platforms: By offering multiple social sign-in options, you cater to a wider range of users who may have preferences for different social media platforms. This inclusivity helps attract and retain users who prefer using specific platforms or are more comfortable with certain social networks.

💻 So, how long does the development and integration of an SNS sign-in take?

Integrating “Sign in with Google,” “Sign in with Facebook,” and other social network services may take several days up to a few weeks, depending on several factors: the complexity of your application, your familiarity with the required technologies, and the specific implementation details you choose. Assuming it took 7 days for you to integrate the Google Sign-in, you will need about 7 days for every SNS login method you plan to integrate, especially due to the distinct documentation and requirements for each of them.

🚀 Can you add 5 SNS logins in a few days? Yes, it’s possible with the Nbase SDK

One of the features of Nbase Core SDK and Nbase Game SDK is the SNS login integration, allowing you to integrate Apple, Google, Facebook, LINE, and NAVER login and authentication.
