Abstract
Social login (SL) has recently emerged as a solution for single sign-on (SSO) within the web and mobile environments.It allows users to use their existing social network credentials (SNC) to login to third party web applications without the need to create a new identity in the intended applications’ database.Although it has been used by many web application providers, its’ applicability in accessing learning materials is not yet fully investigated.Hence, this research aims to explore users’ (i.e., instructors’ and students’) perception and experience on the security of SL for accessing learning contents.A course portal was developed for students at a higher learning institution and it provides two types of user authentications (i) traditional user authentication, and (ii) SL facility.Users comprised instructors and students evaluated the login facility of the course portal through a controlled lab experimental study following the within-subject design.The participants provided their feedback in terms of the security of SL for accessing learning contents.The study revealed that users preferred to use SL over the traditional authentication, however, they concerned on the security of SL and their privacy.
