Can I use Google login widget on my login page?

In short

Since 2022, Google login has not been available as an option on mobile devices due to changes in Google security policies.

As a result, the login button no longer appears on Social WiFi login screens.

Unfavourable Workarounds

Google encouraged captive portal providers to redirect users from the captive portal window to a web browser to complete authentication, but this process is cumbersome for WiFi users and they get an easier and better experience by simply choosing another login method.

Why did we make these changes?

Our data shows that between 1st January 2024 and 31st October 2024, only 0.07% of logins were completed with Google.

Therefore, we have decided that it is time to say goodbye to Google as a login option.

More than 80% of logins are done on mobile and almost all clients asked why it wasn’t working. This unfavourable experience for everyone involved meant that it was in the best interest of everybody to update the login options.
