Chris Anderson Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 It's nice to offer social logins as they minimize the friction of signing up, but by doing so the site doesn't collect a password from the member. This can be problematic if the social media site goes down or the site loses access to the API. If a member can't login they could very well not return. Accounts created via social logins have the password field unavailable to set. This field only becomes available if a member clicks on the "Forget your password" as shown below, after they have created their account. I'm looking to see if there is some setting that I could enabled to prompt for a password as part of the initial account creation so I can gather passwords for everyone.
Solution Jim M Posted February 20, 2022 Solution Posted February 20, 2022 There is no setting at this time for users to be able to set a password during sign up when using a social media provider. As you mentioned, they would need to use the password reset tool to accomplish this if they so desire.
