Login with Google – rtCamp’s WordPress Plugin

I proudly contributed to the Login with Google plugin by rtCamp, a popular solution that allows WordPress users to log in securely using their Google account.

This plugin enhances both security and user experience by offering OAuth-based Google Sign-In, ideal for sites that need frictionless authentication — from blogs to enterprise WordPress installations.

🛠️ What the Plugin Does

• Implements OAuth 2.0 login via Google.
• Allows site owners to restrict access only to specific domains or Google accounts.
• Automatically creates new WordPress user accounts or maps to existing ones.
• Follows WordPress coding standards and is trusted by hundreds of sites.

✅ My Contribution

I contributed code improvements via pull request which was successfully merged into the main repository. My tasks included:

• ✅ Refactoring existing code to improve readability and maintainability.
• ✅ Ensuring security best practices while handling Google OAuth data.
• ✅ Fixing potential PHP warnings/notices and improving edge-case handling.
• ✅ Testing login flow across local and staging setups with multiple roles.
