Google One Tap Registration / Sign-In

[KnownSyntax]

How many of you support Google One Tap Registration & Sign in on your community forums? The feature has been around for a little bit now, but I've been seeing more registrations process through since instead of having to provide a bunch of information, it instead is all pre-filled (and on future visits, it's 1 click to sign in vs. having to type your password and username/email address).

Google's Overview page on this function: https://developers.google.com/identity/gsi/web/guides/overview
All of the browsers and platforms that support this; https://developers.google.com/identity/gsi/web/guides/supported-browsers

And if you want an example of somewhere that supports this, you can check out my community (to see the feeling and process through, if you want an actual website outside of Google's Overview demo that is highly limited in scope); https://ur.fish/c

Note that you must be signed into your web browser and a Google account prior, for the banner to appear - also note that no action is required outside of visiting the website, so there aren't any clicks needed/required on "Login" or "Register" like traditional oAuth methods.

I have not implemented this option let. I ask members to join my form through email.

The cool part is that in the backend, Google shares their email address so they can always sign in later with it (if they register through it), or they can already have an account and sign in via Google One Tap even if they haven't registered through it.

What is the difference between signing with Gmail and signing with Google one tap?

What is the difference between signing with Gmail and signing with Google one tap?

It’s far easier, if you use Google Chrome (it works with a ton of other browsers on mobile as well) and are signed into the browser, and then visit a Google One Tap site, you’ll see a badge appear. Click that and it spends up the process (it prefills with your information but saves typing). When it comes time to sign in, you click the banner and you are signed in automatically vs. having to type your username and password.

You can use my linked community as an example to see the speed difference on the front end, and how it works overall if you need.

I've seen this on loads of forums but never used it. I don't know much about it so not sure if I'd want to use it on my site or not
