External Authentication Method
External authentication methods allow users to login to a FStore site without entering their credentials: email and password. Users can be authenticated using an external site (such as Facebook, Google, and so on). FStore has a built-in external authentication through Facebook. You can set up other methods using plugins from the marketplace.
After an external authentication method is configured and marked as active, users will see a new authentication option on the login page.
Note
You can enable an auto registration for users logged-in using external methods. To do so, go to Configuration → Settings → Customer Settings. In the External authentication settings section of the Customer Settings tab tick the Auto register enabled checkbox.
Manage the external authentication methods
Go to Configuration → External Authentication Methods. The External Authentication Methods window is displayed:
Click Edit beside an authentication method and tick Is active to activate the method. Also, define the method display order.
Click Configure for the method configuration.
