# Social Login

> Enable or disable the social sign-in options currently available for your BeatPass account.

Social login lets you use supported third-party accounts to sign in to BeatPass instead of typing your password every time.

***

## What Is Available Right Now

Only providers that are enabled on BeatPass appear in **Social login**. On the current BeatPass setup, the available option is:

| Provider   | What you can do                                                       |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Google** | Sign in with your Google account and connect it to your BeatPass user |

<Note>
  If more providers are enabled in the future, they will appear in the same section automatically.
</Note>

***

## Enable Google Sign-In

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open account settings">
    Open the **Account Settings** page from your profile avatar menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find Social login">
    Scroll to the **Social login** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Google">
    Click **Enable** next to **Google account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish the Google flow">
    Complete the Google sign-in window and approve the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After the connection succeeds, BeatPass shows the linked Google account in that row instead of **Disabled**.

***

## Disable Google Sign-In

To remove Google as a sign-in option for your BeatPass account:

1. Open the **Account Settings** page from your profile avatar menu
2. Open the **Social login** section
3. Click **Disable** next to the connected **Google account**

<Warning>
  If Google is your only way to sign in, create a password first using the **Forgot password?** flow on the login page before you disable it.
</Warning>

***

## If A BeatPass Account Already Exists

If you try to connect or sign in with Google and BeatPass already has an account with the same email address, BeatPass may ask for your existing account password before finishing the connection.

***

## What BeatPass Accesses

When you connect Google, BeatPass may receive:

| Information         | Purpose                              |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Email address**   | Account identification               |
| **Name**            | To identify the connected account    |
| **Profile picture** | To help populate your account avatar |

BeatPass does **not**:

* Post on your behalf
* Access your messages
* Access your contacts
* Store your social password

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Social login popup was blocked">
    Allow popups for BeatPass and try again. The social sign-in flow opens in a separate window.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="'Account already exists' error">
    BeatPass may already have a user with that email address. Sign in with your existing BeatPass credentials first, then try enabling Google from **Social login**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I signed up with Google and never made a password">
    Use the **Forgot password?** link on the login page to create a password by email before disabling Google sign-in.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Social provider isn't showing">
    Only enabled providers appear. If you do not see a provider in the **Social login** section or on the sign-in page, it is not available on the current BeatPass setup.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Privacy Notes

* Your social account login credentials are never shared with BeatPass
* Authentication happens directly with the social provider
* You can revoke BeatPass access from your social account settings at any time
* Disabling the connection on BeatPass does not change your Google account itself
