# QQ social login guide
[QQ](http://www.qq.com/) (also known as Tencent QQ) is a Chinese instant messaging service that provides microblogging, social games, music, and group and voice chat software. There are approximately 900 million active QQ accounts.
# Before you begin
Although not detailed in this configuration guide, you can create a new QQ app that enables users to log on to your web site by using their QQ account. To create a QQ developer account, you must complete a registration process that includes such tasks as providing a copy of your business license:
If you already have a QQ developer account, you can create a social login app from the QQ developer’s site ([https://connect.qq.com](https://connect.qq.com/)).

# Configure QQ as a social login provider
To configure QQ as a social login provider, make sure you have your QQ app ID and app key, and then complete the following procedure:
1. Log on to your Social Login Dashboard ([https://dashboard.janrain.com](https://dashboard.janrain.com/)).
2. From the Dashboard home page, click the **Manage Engage Dashboard** icon.
3. From the Engage Dashboard home page, in the **Widgets and SDKs** section, click **Sign-Ins**.
4. From the **Sign-in** page, verify that **Widget** is selected and then expand **Providers**.
5. From the list of **Providers**, click **QQ**.
6. In the **QQ** dialog box, click **Next** until you reach the screen requesting the app ID and app key:
7. Paste your QQ app ID in the **App ID** field, paste your QQ app key in the **App Key** field, and then click **Save**. QQ appears in your social login widget.
8. When you are finished, select **Save and Publish** and then click **Publish**. It might take as long as one hour before QQ appears as a social login option on your web site.
# Test QQ social login
To test QQ social login, complete the following procedure:
1. Do one of the following:
* If you have just published your widget settings, click the **Test your widget** link that appears after the widget has been saved.
* If you previously published your widget settings then, from the Engage Dashboard **Sign-in** page, click **Launch a test widget**.
2. From the **Test** page, click the **QQ** icon:
3. In the **QQ account security** window, logon using a valid QQ account.
4. If login succeeds, information returned from the QQ profile is displayed in the **API response preview** field.
The returned profile information will vary depending on the QQ account used in the test.
You can verify QQ profile fields by completing the following procedure:
1. From the Engage Dashboard home page, click the **Manage Providers** icon:
2. From the **Configure Providers** page, click **QQ**.
3. Profile information returned from QQ is displayed onscreen. For example:
# Assign a different QQ app for social login
If you want to use a different QQ app or if you need to change your existing app, you must update the QQ provider configuration settings. To do that, complete the following procedure:
1. From the Engage Dashboard home page, click the **Manage Providers** icon:
2. From the **Configure Providers** page, click **QQ**.
3. Click the green **Configured** button to display the **QQ is currently enabled** dialog box:
4. To change the QQ configuration, click **Modify these settings**.
5. In the **QQ** dialog box, change the **App ID** and/or **App Key** as needed, and then click **Save**:
Although you can modify your QQ settings, you cannot delete those settings. If you delete the settings and then try to save your changes, you’ll see the error message **Please enter your Consumer Key and Secret exactly as QQ shows them.**
This means that you cannot “unconfigure” the provider: once configured, the QQ icon will always be shown as green (i.e., configured) in the Social Login Dashboard.
# Remove QQ as a social login provider
You can remove QQ as a social login provider by completing the following procedure:
1. Log on to your Social Login Dashboard ([https://dashboard.janrain.com](https://dashboard.janrain.com/)).
2. From the Dashboard home page, click the **Manage Engage Dashboard** icon.
3. From the Engage Dashboard home page, in the **Widgets and SDKs** section, click **Sign-Ins**.
4. From the **Sign-in** page, verify that **Widget** is selected and then expand **Providers**.
5. In the widget, click the **X** in the upper right corner of the **QQ** icon.
6. Scroll to the bottom of the page, select **Save and Publish**, and then click **Publish**. QQ no longer appears in the sign-on widget.
