The feature that lets customers create an account or log in to your Bolder site using external credentials, without having to create a new password.

It is designed to reduce friction at sign-up, improve conversion and offer a faster, more secure way to access.

3.  In the Social login section, you can activate Google and/or Github, and you will need to enter the required credentials.

### Activating Google login

Social login works through OAuth 2.0. This means Bolder delegates authentication to Google or GitHub and securely receives the user's identity in return.

**Step 1 — Create a project in Google Cloud (Google Login)**

1.  Go to the [**Google Cloud**](https://console.cloud.google.com/) **Console**.
2.  Select an existing project or create a new one.
3.  You will be redirected to the project dashboard.
4.  In the top left corner, open the menu (≡) and go to **APIs & Services > Credentials**.
5.  Click **Create credentials > OAuth client ID**.
6.  If this is your first time, set up the **OAuth consent screen** following Google's instructions.

**Step 2 — Configure the OAuth client ID (Google**)

1.  Select **Web application** as the application type.
    
    Under **Authorized JavaScript origins**, add your domain:
    
    -   https://www.tutienda.com  -  here you must use your site's URL
        
          
        
2.  Under **Authorized redirect URI**, add:
    
    https://tutienda.com/auth/google\_oauth2/callback
    
    here you must replace it with your site's URL + `/auth/google_oauth2/callback`  
    
      
    
3.  Click **Create**.

A modal will open with the **Client ID and Client Secret**, the credentials needed to activate it
