We’re happy to announce that Discourse ID can now be enabled on all Discourse sites, including both hosted and self-hosted sites!
Discourse ID provides a faster login experience across participating Discourse sites so you don’t have to create separate logins for each Discourse you visit and you can join any participating Discourse sites with just one click. It also lets Discourse admins offer a simplified login experience, with support for social logins with no setup or configuration needed.
Enabling Discourse ID on your community
If you’d like to offer a seamless login experience for your members, turn on the Enable Discourse ID site setting from your admin panel.
Using Discourse ID
Every time you see “Log in with Discourse ID” on Discourse sites in the wild, you’re seconds away from jumping into conversations! No more juggling accounts — just log in and go.
If you don’t see ID available on a site, note that it is a new feature and some communities have not opted in yet. Ask your community admin to enable it (or check again later).
Using Discourse ID for your meta.discourse.org account
We are replacing Meta’s current social login methods with Discourse ID — which includes social logins out-of-the-box — on November 30, 2025.
All you need to do is sign into Meta with a Discourse ID account using the same email address, or go to your account preferences and connect Discourse ID as an associated account.
If you have questions about how Discourse ID works, check out our Discourse ID documentation.
