Log in via social providers

[Jandev]

I would love to have the ability to log in via some of the social providers.

No need to have local accounts (accounts not created via a social provider) in my opinion, because that's just a lot of hassle. Only thing which needs to be stored in the CFP Exchange repository is the Name an identifier and maybe the E-mail address if you want to send out mailings later on (take into consideration the GDPR before sending out those mails).

The userbase (at the moment) are all developers/IT-pro's, so the GitHub & Twitter social providers should suffice.
Of course adding Google & Microsoft accounts is doable also.

Some documentation or .NET Core 2.1 integration:

Covers all major providers

Agree! @wmeints had something in the works, but I think this was the other way around, choosing local accounts 😄

I don't really care which one it will be, although social login makes the most sense in terms of not having to maintain all kinds of plumbing there yourself.
