Provider selection: Users select their preferred social platform 2. OAuth redirect: Secure redirect to the chosen social provider's authentication page 3. Permission approval: Users approve access permissions on the familiar social platform 4. Account creation: Privy creates a user profile linked to their social account 5. Wallet generation: An embedded wallet is automatically created for web3 interactions 6. Token management: Optional OAuth tokens returned for additional API access ## Setup and configuration ### Section 1. Enable social providers Configure social authentication in the [Privy Dashboard](https://dashboard.privy.io): 1. Find the "User management" section in the dashboard sidebar 2. Click on "Authentication" 3. Navigate to the "Socials" tab 4. Toggle on any desired social platforms. ### Section 2. OAuth credential options Next to each social provider, you can see a dropdown that enables you to access OAuth configuration. Privy offers two approaches for OAuth configuration: - Default credentials: Use Privy's pre-configured OAuth credentials for quick setup and testing. This is perfect for development and getting started quickly. - Custom credentials: Configure your own OAuth applications for production use. This provides better security, branding control, and eliminates shared rate limits. See the [Privy guide](https://docs.privy.io/basics/get-started/dashboard/configure-login-methods#configure-your-oauth-credentials) to learn how to set up OAuth credentials with each provider. Benefits of custom credentials: - Your app branding appears on social login screens - Better security and application control - Dedicated rate limits for your application - Enhanced resiliency and reliability ### Section 3. SDK integration With configuration done, you can implement the Privy SDK and widget into your dapp. First, install the Privy SDK: ```bash npm install @privy-io/react-auth ``` There are many SDK flavours, depending on which language you're using. Now wrap your app in the `PrivyProvider`: ```jsx import { PrivyProvider } from '@privy-io/react-auth'; export default function App() { return ( {/* Your app components */} ); } ``` ## Resources - Visit the [Privy Dashboard](https://dashboard.privy.io) to configure social authentication - Review [OAuth provider setup guides](https://docs.privy.io/basics/get-started/dashboard/configure-login-methods#social-providers) for platform-specific configuration - Explore [embedded wallets](https://docs.privy.io/guide/react/wallets/embedded) for seamless web3 integration - Check out the [Privy documentation](https://docs.privy.io) for advanced configuration options
