In this article, you'll find a step-by-step video showing how to allow your members to log into a Circle.so community without needing to create a new account.
Below the video are a few important links mentioned in the video.
[Live Demo] https://sso-testing.circle.so/home
If you tell Memberstack where your signup page is on the setting page, we'll automatically include the signup link to your login page.
Here is a link to an older video on this topic.
Add a Signup Link to your SSO Login Page
This article + quick video will show you how it works.
When members log in to my website, do they need to log in again with Circle?
TLDR: Yes. Members will need to log in again to access your Circle community.
We attempted to add auto-login functionality, however, we were unable to given the strict Open ID Connect protocol.
Essentially, the issue is that members first log into your website on your domain, and then the circle SSO flow occurs on our domain.
To be 100% transparent - There are possible solutions to this that we’ll explore at some point in the future (such as allowing you to add a custom domain to memberstack, etc.), but no solutions are scheduled for development at this time.

This is a bummer that people can't be auto-logged in to the circle website using the memberstack sso. This is a HUGE feature request for us.
Here is an updated video on connecting circle and Memberstack if you are having trouble connecting the two

Is this still the same situation with users needing to Log-in twice?
TAYLOR DAVIDSON, afraid so. Tyler Bell and I have not been able to find a solution to the double login issue yet.
Okay thank you Duncan
+1 for the double login request.
Also, in the current integration, the user gets taken to auth.memberstack.com with a login form that mentions 'Secured by Memberstack'. It would be great even if there was a way to remove the reference to Memberstack (it is confusing for customers) and also to have the auth.memberstack.com not show in the URL.
Hey Jonathan Crick 👋
Thank you for posting. The 'Secured by Memberstack' should be removed for paid Memberstack subscriptions. When you are ready to go live it should be hidden, if it doesn't get removed please create a support ticket and we will fix it!
+1 on the double login request.
Please bring an update to this feature, double login for the user is not a very great experience to have. Is there any way that you can pass the user token to circle, in that case the user won't have to login again.
Note: Please don't consider the no. of comment on this post as signal for prioritisation, I am sure lot of user needs this, only makes the comment.
Just adding a +1 on the double login request!
