Thanks, when you get a chance, can you describe the difference between this plugin and [Discourse VK Authentication (vkontakte)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-vk-authentication-vkontakte/12987)?

The old plugin worked with the old version of VK authorization. The old version of authorization methods and API are completely broken. The old plugin is not working and is outdated.

It’s not even about the domain changing from .com to .ru; the method itself was different. An application was created for authorization, and a VK group (similar to a Facebook group) was added to the application. The system was different, and now it’s completely gone. The old applications are blocked. Now everything is concentrated on [id.vk.ru](http://id.vk.ru).

Thanks for putting up this plugin!
None of our customers are using this authentication provider, and I am not aware of any open source sites either.
I’ved added the #deprecated tag to [Discourse VK Authentication (vkontakte)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-vk-authentication-vkontakte/12987) and we may remove it, given that it no longer works. And will add a link to this plugin topic.

I confirm that this version of the plugin works perfectly instead of the deprecated one.
The setup guide looks decent, thanks.

Due to new requirements in the legislation of the countrу in my case, it is now required to identify the user through local authorization services, one of which is VK.
