here in the docs there is an optional parameter process which can take either login or connect.

using process='login' it works properly and creates new user if there isn't any, while process='connect' does nothing.(I was expecting it to login just if there is a user ..). but i have no idea on, how that works..

I have a loginForm and SignUpForm where both have the social login/signup option, and I don't want it to create account when it's clicked on social icon on LoginForm.

how can i perform this. (sorry if messed up things..:)

django-allauth django python

The difference is in the whether or not the user wants to create a whole new account through the social account or simply add a new social account to an existing account, with process="login" pertaining to the former and process="connect" the latter.

Example Scenarios:

For example, a new user wants to sign up using google, and then proceed creating a new account: process="login". The default "login.html" template in django-allauth does exactly this so that new users can immediately sign-up/log-in with a social account.

The other situation is when an existing user decides they also want to be able to login with "Google" or "Microsoft" then process="connect" . Typically this functionality to connect a new social account is found in the settings page for a logged in account.
