Thanks for the suggestion @aatishrkamble, I’ve moved this into its own topic so we can track it.

The screenshot you posted shows google’s “One-tap sign in”. It looks like that API was in beta, and signup is currently closed. Once the API is released properly, it may be possible to integrate with Discourse.

> **[Overview  |  Web guides  |  Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/identity/gsi/web/guides/overview)**

We will need to consider the privacy implications. I assume that this system requires us to embed a google iFrame and/or javascript directly into Discourse, and load it for everyone, even if they don’t want to sign in with Google. That probably allows google to track visitors on the forum.

If we do decide to implement it, then I think it would need to be optional for administrators, and default to off.

Once the API is released then we can find out more information.
