Excellent plugin

Works as advertised, SImple and easy to use.

Minimal and Best

For multiple social login accounts, I prefer Nextend Social Login and Register. But for internal web or website that has only admin team, no users, I think this plugin is the best.

Unreliable Plugin

The installation process was straight forward and easy setup. Surprisingly, after complete setup, pages created by the plugin don’t load. I was able to only see the login screen from the admin profile
