## What it is
SecureSocial is an authentication module for Play Framework applications supporting OAuth, OAuth2, OpenID, and username/password login, with out-of-the-box providers for Twitter, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub and others. It offers both Scala and Java APIs, a customizable UI, and a modular architecture for adding custom authentication services.

## Use cases
- add social login to a Play Framework app
- implement username/password signup and password reset in Play
- authenticate users via OAuth2 providers like Google or GitHub
- secure Play Framework actions with authentication and authorization
- support multiple identity providers in a Scala web application

## When to choose
- you are building a Play Framework (2.x or 1.x) application and need drop-in authentication
- you want prebuilt social login providers plus username/password flows
- you need both Scala and Java APIs for auth in the JVM ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Play Framework
- you need a actively maintained library with recent releases and current OAuth provider support
- you need OpenID Connect/OAuth2 features beyond what the last 2020 release supports

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, authorization, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, security
- platform: jvm
- tags: play-framework, oauth, oauth2, openid, social-login, username-password, scala, java-api, web-server
