Customize JavaScript SDK social logins

📘

Much of the content on this page deals with a legacy feature of the ​Akamai​ Identity Cloud (in this case, the JavaScript SDK). If you are currently an Identity Cloud customer and are using the JavaScript SDK, that SDK is still supported. However, if you’re new to the Identity Cloud the JavaScript SDK is no longer available. Instead, you should use Hosted Login for your login and registration needs. See Configure social login in Hosted Login to learn how to implement social login in Hosted Login.

Customize the social login user experience by doing such things as modifying to the social login UI or changing the information retrieved form a user's social login provider.
