Disqus is a worldwide popular blog commenting host for websites and communities that use a networked platform. Disqus is a very popular solution used by various websites and users who are fond of commenting on different blogs, communities, and forums using a networked platform.
Disqus provides an API to the developers using which different social login solutions have been developed. That is, a user having an account on Disqus can use the same account to log on to your site if you allow Disqus social login on your site.
