Plugin: google-apps-login (Used by 14 domains)

Login for Google Apps allows existing WordPress user accounts to log in to your website using Google to securely authenticate their account. This means that if they are already logged into Gmail – they can simply click their way through the WordPress login screen – no username or password is explicitly required!

Login for Google Apps uses secure oAuth2 authentication recommended by Google, including 2-factor authentication (2FA) if enabled for your Google Workspace (formerly known as Google Apps and G Suite) accounts.

This is far simpler to configure than the older SAML protocol.

Login for Google Apps is trusted by thousands of organizations from schools to large public companies. Login for Google Apps for WordPress is the most popular enterprise grade plugin enabling login and user management based on your Google Workspace domain.

Its plugin setup requires you to have admin access to any Google Workspace domain, or a regular Gmail account, to register and obtain two simple codes from Google.

Support and Premium features

Full support and premium features are also available for purchase:

Eliminate the need for Google Workspace (previously called “Google Apps and G Suite”) domain admins to separately manage WordPress user accounts, and get peace of mind that only authorized employees have access to your organization’s websites and intranet.

See our website at wp-glogin.com for more details.

The Premium version allows everyone in your Google Workspace (Google Apps / G Suite) domain to log in to WordPress – an account will be automatically created in WordPress if one doesn’t already exist.

Our Enterprise version goes further, allowing you to specify granular access and role controls based on Google Group or Organizational Unit membership.

You can also see logs of accounts created and roles changed by the plugin.

Extensible Platform

Login for Google Apps allows you to centralize your site’s Google functionality and build your own extensions, or use third-party extensions, which require no configuration themselves and share the same user authentication and permissions that users already allowed for Login for Google Apps itself.

Using our platform, your website appears to Google accounts as one unified ‘web application’, making it more secure and easier to manage.
