Social Auth X-Twitter

This project is part of the Drupal Social Initiative and is based on the Social API.

Social Auth Twitter allows users to register and login to your Drupal site with their Twitter account. This module is based on Social Auth and Social API projects

This module adds a path user/login/twitter which redirects the user to Twitter for authentication.

After Twitter has returned the user to your site, the module compares the user id or email address provided by Twitter. If the user has previously registered using Twitter or your site already has an account with the same email address, the user is logged in. If not, a new user account is created. Also, a Twitter account can be associated to an authenticated user.

Login process can be initiated from the "Twitter" button in the Social Auth block. Alternatively, site builders can place (and theme) a link to user/login/twitter wherever on the site.
