In your Sharetribe marketplace, users can create a user account and log in using their Facebook or Google account (this is known as Single Sign-On, or SSO).
When using their Facebook or Google credentials, users don't need to remember a separate username and password for your marketplace based on Sharetribe. Their email address and profile picture is automatically imported from Facebook or Google. They also don't have to verify their email, as it already verified at Facebook or Google.
