I’m not embedding Discourse in a iframe. I’m using the API to show a topic messages. I’m not trying to login/signup _inside_ an iframe because social websites doesn’t allow to be displayed inside them.That’s why, when user clicks on a button inside the iframe, it opens a new browser tab to /login page on Discourse. Technically, when user hits the login button, a new tab is opened with `/session/sso_provider`. `return_sso_url` will contain an url to backend to process the data, save the user’s session infos then responding some HTML to auto-close the window. The app then will detect it’s done and will be reloaded automatically so it can use the saved user’s session. Even if the app was not in a iframe, It would likely happen the same. Since it’s a browser extension, you have no choice to open a new tab anyway. I’m wondering there are better ways to login/signup in this case. EDIT: Here a demo (was not meant to public, but well, that the shortest way to show the issue and I feel like I don’t explain well enough) : _snip, video removed, no one care anyway_ EDIT2: Seems to happen only when using the API `/session/sso_provider` ; if I do open Discourse url directly (still from an iframe), it seems the issue doesn’t happen. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/issue-with-social-login-modal-new-user-when-login-is-opened-programmatically-in-an-iframe/138967)._
