Third-party sign-in is a type of federated sign-in that allows you to log in with an identity service, instead of creating unique login credentials for each individual website you visit. If you allow third-party sign-in prompts, then as you browse the web, you may receive dialogs that ask if you want to sign in with an identity service.
You can sign into websites with Chrome through an identity service of your choice. An identity service stores and manages your sign-in information and identity across the web per your permission.
Manage third-party sign-in prompts
To select your third-party sign-in prompt preferences:
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, select More Settings.
- On the left, select Privacy and security Site settings.
- Under “Content,” select Additional content settings Third-party sign-in.
- Select to show or block sign-in prompts:
- Sites can show sign-in prompts from identity services: If you enable "Sign in automatically," you won’t need to confirm before you log in to a website with your identity service. Learn how to sign in to sites & apps automatically.
- Block sign-in prompts from identity services: If you block this feature, Chrome won’t show sign-in prompts through your identity service. The website you visit or your identity service can still show you similar prompts. You can still log in with your identity service through the typical sign-in buttons or your username and password.
You can sign in automatically to a site if:
- The site and the identity service support the feature.
- You’ve created an account on the site with the identity service before.
- You enabled “Sign in automatically” in Chrome. Learn how to sign in to sites & apps automatically.
Tip: If you recently dismissed the prompt to sign in automatically, it may be temporarily disabled.
