I want to create a sign up page that links to other social media - i.e to make an account you sign up with your facebook/twitter username and password. how do i do that using wix?
thank you
HI Aliyah:
Wix member sign in page already allows for Facebook and Google+. If you want to add another mechanism you will need to do this using the wix-users-backend api in Wix Code.
The wix member sign in functionality is described here:

Hope this helps

Red Arrow - I’m not sure what your point is. Aliyah‘s question is about using a pre-existing authentication model to facilitate sign on (authentication) to his specific wix web site using a REST Api and OAuth. These sign on services are pretty popular across many social network sites and remove the need for users to manage lots of passwords.
A good article here:

Trying to support all social media login methods is non trivial so Wix has selected two of the more popular ones and provided a model to use others.
Essentially this provides a single sign on capability for users hopefully reducing the barrier for them to become a member of your site.
