Hi there,
Thanks for your comments. We will make sure that we reflect the registration requirement in the description and not only in the FAQ.
Why do we need a registration – In any other social login, if you are providing login with facebook for example, you will need an app id for which you will need to create an entire application in facebook and so if you want to provide login with 10 social apps then you need to go and create 10 apps in those social platforms.
Using our plugin you do not need to do that. Just by creating one registration with us, you get social login plus other features.
About the phone number – Its an oversight on our part to put the asterisk on the GUI. We will remove the asterisk. Thanks for pointing it out. You can actually put any random number in there today and it should work.
Can I request you to try it once? And then give your feedback on the feature set?
Also, we are about to release a much improved social login in a day or two. Check it out and then make up your mind about this plugin.
