Considerations for the team:

1. I am not sure this issue has a high enough scope to adversely affect other developer issues. On the other hand, websites can change their authorization policy at the drop of the a hat (for example, GitHub only allows PAT tokens for API access as of last year). Therefore, it is my opinion that this issue should only be done as we near MVP.

@Aveline-art , will you please re-write the objective and explain why do we need the 3rd party sign-in, or what is it going to accomplish. NOT URGENT :)

@sharadgaurav7 @sdimran I just noticed this is marked with 02 milestone, but is explicitly a post MVP issue. Just want to make sure there is not an error.

At the moment HackforLA prefers not to use 3rd party apps for sign in. If this changes, we will open a new ticket accordingly.
