What is Discourse ID?

Discourse ID provides a faster login experience across participating Discourse sites so you don’t have to create separate logins for each Discourse you visit and you can join any participating Discourse sites with just one click. It also lets Discourse admins offer a simplified login experience, with support for social logins with no setup or configuration needed.

Every time you see “Sign in with Discourse ID” on a Discourse site, you’re seconds away from meaningful conversations that count :discourse:

Why use Discourse ID?

Create once, use everywhere

• Sign up for Discourse ID once and use it across all participating Discourse communities
• No need to remember multiple usernames and passwords for different forums
• Use Google, Apple, Facebook Github, or your email to join Discourse ID (more options coming soon)

Common Questions

• Is this the same as Single Sign-On (SSO)? Discourse ID is SSO, but specifically designed for Discourse sites.
• Do community owners see all my activity? No, your activity on one forum isn’t visible to owners of other forums.
• How can I get Discourse ID for my site? If you’re a hosted customer…, If you’re self-hosted, go here…
• Why doesn’t Discourse ID work on site X? Discourse ID is a new feature and some communities have not opted in yet. Ask your community admin to enable it (or check again later).
• Can I use Discourse ID in the DiscourseHub app? Not yet, but stay tuned!
