# Login Options

 * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-options-2/)
 * I have several questions about login options:
    1. Is it possible to only allow users to login via social media authentication 
       options, and NOT via WP accounts?
    2. I have read elsewhere in this support forum that when a user registers via social
       media login, that it creates an account on the site. Does this mean that the
       user can or must login via this website account afterward? If so, how, if they
       didn’t create a username and password?
 * I may have more questions as follow up after I get your answers to these questions.

 * You can hide the login link and keep enabled only the social login links: [https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/plugin-settings/user-authorization-and-profile-data/#show-%E2%80%9Clogin%E2%80%9D-link-on-comment-form](https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/plugin-settings/user-authorization-and-profile-data/#show-%E2%80%9Clogin%E2%80%9D-link-on-comment-form)

 * Depends on the social network it generates a username and random passwords.
