React Native Universal Login Social Integrations

New: Dev to Dev Hub

Hi,

I have recently published my first app using Auth0 as the auth mechanism, utilising Universal Login and the react-native-auth0 package (plus built in hooks useAuth0 etc).

This has been working mostly well with the exception of the authorize flow often times not returning a response when using a simulator - but that’s another issue.

I have now enabled Google and Discord social logins for users, which works nicely using the setup guides provided. However, when selecting either of these, the user is required to authenticate each time (assuming they log out then try to log back in again) - needing to enter their email/password etc. The irritation here is that many people (myself included) are already logged into google apps (Gmail etc) both on the apps themselves and their browsers.

The same is true for Discord (though, likely more just the app in this case).

My question is basically: how can I configure it so that when a user presses “Login with Google”, they’re met with a list of the Google accounts they’re already authenticated with, rather than being directed straight to Google’s email/password login form? Same question, I guess to a lesser extent, with Discord.

Thanks!

Hi @bridge424

Welcome to the Auth0 Community, and thank you for posting your question.

I found this article in our documentation that can be helpful for you → https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/social-identity-providers/google-native#how-it-works

Thanks!

Hi Dawid,

Thank you for reaching out. Is there by chance documentation for doing this using React Native? That documentation appears to be related to implementing credentials manager into native Android Java code.

It also isn’t clear that the documentation you provided is resolving the problem i’ve raised - though I can’t prove that because as I mentioned, we’re using React Native.

Cheers,

Zac
