  • Does it create a new account if google email already exists

    If there is a gmail account already on a site and this plugin is enabled, will it recognize the existing account with the same email address?

  • Minimal and Best

    For multiple social login accounts, I prefer Nextend Social Login and Register. But for internal web or website that has only admin team, no users, I think this plugin is the best.

  • Does not work in multisite

    works fine for one site but not for multisite, need to add a notice about it

  • Fantastic, has bug

    As of writing, will register a new user regardless of this setting, which prevents me from using it at the moment:Enable Google Login Registration
