Twitter social sign in

You can enable users to sign up and sign in using their Twitter credentials. To enable this, you’ll need a Twitter developer account and some developer know-how.

Sign up for a Twitter developer account and add your app.

If you are signing up for the first time, you will be prompted to add an app. If you already have Twitter apps, you’ll need to create a project and then add the new app within that project.

2. In the Social connections section, select Add connection.
3. In the window that appears, select Twitter, then select Save. Twitter now appears in the list of Social connections.
4. On the Twitter tile, select Configure.
