Social Login

It's better to integrate social login .

I also want social integration. I don't think they can support it generally though (too many providers). But they can provide some hooks so that you can use it alongside an OAuth library such as OAuth2-client.

I think basically, the flexi-auth library would need to provide a user_can_login() function so that you can check:

• bans / suspensions
• account activation
• lockouts due to hacking attempts

And then a force_login() function that you can then call afterwards to make the user appear as logged in. An extension may be necessary so that one can tell whether a user logged in via password or social. Basically, a function like is_logged_in_via_password which would instead be is_logged_in_via_social.

What do you think?
