In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to allow users to login to your WordPress.org (self-hosted) site using WordPress.com account. First, you need to install and activate Jetpack plugin. Then, make sure to connect your Jetpack with your WordPress.com.
Once you’ve done steps mentioned above, go to Jetpack settings page. Look for Jetpack Single Sign On module and activate it. Try open up your login page and you’ll see a new Login with WordPress.com button as shown in the screenshot below:
That’s pretty easy and straightforward.
Once a user logged in to the site for first time, they’ll see list of information that will be shared with the site. If you’ve concern about you password being shared with the site, fret not as it will never be shared with the site.
We hope this tutorial helped you to allow users to login to your self-hosted WordPress.org site using their WordPress.com account. Besides this module, Jetpack has more than 30 modules to power your site such as Widget Visibility module, tiled gallery and comment reply notification.
Great information.. I just learned something new.. I never knew that one could sign in with wordpress.org.. Thanks so much for this information… keep smiling
Thanks. Actually we “accidentally” found this new feature when looking for something else on the Jetpack module page.
