There are several paid as well as free extensions for social media login that allows you to login into magento shop. However, my idea is several options creates confusion for the user, therefore I want to use the most popular ones and that too FREE.
The first step is to download the extension. I am using the following extension
CedCommerce Social Login
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/cedcommerce-social-login.html
After installing this extension in your magento store ( I am using magento 1.9.1), you need to obtain keys from each site
I will start with Google login First
