Frequently asked questions

What is Login for Google Apps?
Login for Google Apps allows existing WordPress user accounts to login to your website using Google to securely authenticate their account. This means that if they are already logged into Gmail for example, they can simply click their way through the WordPress login screen – no username or password is explicitly required!
How does Login for Google Apps authenticate user accounts?
Login for Google Apps uses the latest secure OAuth2 authentication recommended by Google, including 2-factor Auth if enabled for your Google Workspace (formerly known as Google Apps and G Suite) accounts.
Is Login for Google Apps secure?
Login for Google Apps uses the latest secure OAuth2 authentication recommended by Google. Other 3rd party authentication plugins may allow you to use your Google username and password to login, but they do not do this securely unless they also use OAuth2. This is discussed further in the FAQ.
What are the premium features of Login for Google Apps?
Full support and premium features are also available for purchase. The Premium version allows everyone in your Google Workspace (Google Apps / G Suite) domain to login to WordPress – an account will be automatically created in WordPress if one doesn't already exist. Our Enterprise version goes further, allowing you to specify granular access and role controls based on Google Group or Organizational Unit membership. You can also see logs of accounts created and roles changed by the plugin.
Can Login for Google Apps be used with third-party extensions?
Login for Google Apps allows you to centralize your site's Google functionality and build your own extensions, or use third-party extensions, which require no configuration themselves and share the same user authentication and permissions that users already allowed for Login for Google Apps itself.
