BookStack currently supports login via Google, Facebook, Slack, Twitter, GitHub, AzureAD and Okta. Once enabled options for these services will show up in the login, registration and user profile pages. By default these services are disabled. To enable them you will have to create an application on the external services to obtain the require application id's and secrets. Here are instructions to do this for the current supported services:
---
### Google
1. Open the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/).
2. Create a new project (May have to wait a short while for it to be created).
3. Select 'Enable and manage APIs'.
4. Enable the 'Google+ API'.
5. In 'Credentials' choose the 'OAuth consent screen' tab and enter a product name ('BookStack' or your custom set name).
6. Back in the 'Credentials' tab click 'New credentials' > 'OAuth client ID'.
7. Choose an application type of 'Web application' and enter the following urls under 'Authorized redirect URIs', changing `https://example.com` to your own domain where BookStack is hosted:
- `https://example.com/login/service/google/callback`
- `https://example.com/register/service/google/callback`
8. Add or set the following items in your `.env` file like so:
```bash
# Replace the below (including '{}' braces) with your Google API_KEY and API_SECRET
GOOGLE_APP_ID={google_app_id}
GOOGLE_APP_SECRET={google_app_secret}
# APP_URL Needs to be set to your BookStack base url
APP_URL=http://mybookstackurl.com

10. All done! Users should now be able to link their social accounts in their account profile pages and also register/login using their Google accounts.
