Preferred Social Logins, Q4 2012 [CHART]

Chart - Preferred Social Logins

Facebook was once again the leading option in Q4 2012 for social logins, among online users who opted to use a social network identity to speed up registration on sites across the web, according to January 2013 data from Janrain. But, Facebook lost its majority share from Q3, dropping 5% points to 49% share of logins. Google was the big riser for the quarter, gaining 6% points quarter-over-quarter to reach 31% share. And after cracking 10% share in Q3, Twitter retreated to 7% share.

While Facebook’s dominance in the social login space was a bit more muted in Q4, it extended its leading edge in mobile logins. In Q4, Facebook captured 68% of mobile application logins, up from 63% in Q3 and 54% in Q2. Google was next with 16% share (-5% points), followed by Twitter, at 11% (+1% points).
