Feature Request: Facebook/Twitter Login

Feature Request:

Integrate s2Member with Facebook / Twitter / Google+ logins.

Description:

There are already quite a few plugins that allow a user to join a website with their FB/Tw/G+ account, but if using s2Member, those plugins create new user accounts on top of the registered s2Member user.

Request:

I would like to see s2Member upgraded to allow social networking logins by the major platforms listed above.

There are already quite a few plugins that allow a user to join a website with their FB/Tw/G+ account, but if using s2Member, those plugins create new user accounts on top of the registered s2Member user.

The way I understand it, WordPress still needs the person to have an account in the blog, those services may provide credentials, but they don’t replace the WP account.

If the user already has an account in WP, can he then login with one of those services to get to the previously existing account or is a new one created? Try this with s2Member inactive too, can you reproduce that problem without s2 or does it go away?

A user who doesn’t have an account yet, logs in for the first time using one of those services, logs out, can he then login back in with those services without having yet another WP account created? Try this with s2Member active too, please.

I know that other site owners have successfully implemented these single sign-on plugins in the same site they have s2Member, so it’s either a misunderstanding on how they’re supposed to work, or that particular plugin implements it in a way that isn’t compatible and you can try other plugins of the same kind.
