What teams ask before connecting
Which social login providers does LearnWorlds support?
LearnWorlds supports five providers. Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn are on by default. Apple and Twitter are also available. You choose which ones appear on your sign-in and sign-up form and in what order.
Does each social login provider require its own developer app setup?
No, not to switch them on. Social logins work once you turn them on in Website settings > Authentication > Social. Whitelabeling, which removes the LearnWorlds brand from the login, has its own guide per provider and needs Learning Center or higher.
How to set up the LearnWorlds and social media login integration
Setup happens in your LearnWorlds settings and takes a few minutes. At the end, your sign-in and sign-up form shows the social logins you picked.
1. Open the social login settings
Go to Website settings > Authentication > Social.
2. Choose your providers
Turn on the providers you want and turn off the rest. Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn are on by default. Apple and Twitter are also available.
3. Set the display order
Reorder the providers to control how they appear on your sign-in and sign-up form.
4. Check your sign-up settings
If only buyers can sign up, social sign-ups fail with a Registration prohibited message. Turn on Anyone can Sign-up if social sign-up matters for your school.
5. Whitelabel your social logins
Follow each provider’s guide to remove the LearnWorlds brand from its login. Requires: the Learning Center plan or higher. For the full setup guide, see the social login help article.
