Introduction

A social account is a user account where authentication is delegated to an external identity provider. The allauth.socialaccount app is responsible for managing social accounts. It supports:

• Connecting one or more social accounts to a local/regular account

• Disconnecting a social account – requires setting a password if only the local account remains

• Optional instant-signup for social accounts – no questions asked

Note that in order to use this functionality you need to install the socialaccount extras of the django-allauth package:

pip install "django-allauth[socialaccount]"
