Social login is popular among customers due to a faster registration process (almost no additional information is needed), and you can save the time of remembering all your accounts. However, before creating a social login in Magento 2, you have to connect to the API of other social networks such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. In the previous post, we showed you How to Configure Yahoo API, how to Configure Twitter API and how to Configure Facebook API in Magento 2.

And these credentials play an important role in making Instagram users get access to your website.
