New integration with Google accounts

We like to think of Disqus as a bridge that connects your website’s community with the awesome, hectic activity that happens in other places of the web. That’s why we focus on great integration with the social networks people love, such as Twitter and Facebook.
 
Nearly 13% of users choose to login through Twitter or Facebook when participating in Disqus communities. Today, we’re happy to introduce another recognizable choice: Google accounts. Millions upon millions of people are already logged into their Google accounts, and now they can easily use those accounts to jump into discussions all over the web.


We use Google’s OpenID + OAuth support to securely authenticate users without sharing any passwords. If you already have a Disqus profile, you can also connect your Google account in order to link to your Google page and use your picture. Enjoy!
