Social Login

By default, Social Login is enabled allowing volunteers to register/login via Apple, Facebook, and/or Google.  (If you do not wish to allow login with one of the default social logins - please open a help desk ticket and request that it be disabled.)

For every social login that's enabled it will appear on the following pages:

  1. Login Screen
  2. Registration Screen
  3. Social Logins Page

Note:  Logging in with LinkedIn is optional, and can be activated for your account by request.

Here's how a volunteer can associate their social login account with HandsOn Connect. In this example we'll use a Facebook account. However, the process with each social login account is very similar.

When social login is enabled on your site - you'll see the "Log in with Facebook" button on the login widgets.

Before being able to use the Login with Facebook button, a volunteer must associate their HandsOn Connect account with your Facebook account.  To do this a user should do the following:

1.  Log into HandsOn Connect normally.

2.  In "My Account" click on the new menu option called "Social Login Settings" (or 'Social Login") in your navigation.  If you do not have this in your navigation, create a menu item that links to /social-connections

How to link your HOC login with your Facebook Account

Social Login Settings page

After reading the info, users click the "logo of the social login" to associate their accounts:

They'll be walked through the steps to link their facebook account to their HandsOn Connect account.

Once that's been done once.  They'll be able to login by clicking on the "Login with Facebook" button on the login widget on your site!

Social Login Settings page

If they are not already logged into Facebook when they link with Facebook - they'll first be taken to a Facebook login page.

If they are already logged into Facebook they will be taken directly to the screen shown below.  

Clicking on "Link Account" will complete the process and the volunteer will now be able to use the "Login with Facebook" button in the login widget for future logins!

Logging in via Facebook

Logging in via Facebook

Once a user has associated their HandsOn Connect account with their Facebook account, they'll be able to use the new Login with Facebook button on the login widget.

Clicking on Log in with Facebook on the login widget will do one of two things:

  • If you are not currently logged into Facebook on your computer, you may be asked to log into your Facebook account.
  • If you're already logged into Facebook, you'll be taking to the "Continue as ...." screen.

Now that your accounts are linked - you'll be able to click on the Log in with Facebook button and quickly be logged into HandsOn Connect with no password required.

You can also Register via Social Logins.

Registering via Facebook pre-populates many of the fields in the registration form with the info that Facebook has.  To complete registration you'll need to fill in any other required fields.

Login with LinkedIn is not enabled by default - but if you wish to add this as another social login option - open a support request and we can activate it for you.

When enabled, the login page will show a new button widget for LinkedIn.
