Social login plugin

Hi, I need a social login plugin for my page that lets users register using their google/facebook/twitter account and asks them for some extra fields and then login easily with their social network account.
Does anyone know a plugin to do that or an easy way to implement it myself?
I’ve tried plugins like “Social Login” and “WordPress Social Login” but i can’t see any way to do what I want.

My advice is to choose one that is actively maintained. Reason being, Twitter et al have been known to make changes to their APIs in the past which could result in some social login plugins no longer working. A developer that actively maintains their plugin should be able to release fixes if this scenario happens.

The ones i have tried are maintained, but i need a way to make the user input more data mandatorily.
I think i’ll try to make a custom screen for that or redirect them to the profile editing page.

You should be able to hook in and create an input form (in a modal for example). If there’s no hook available, you can always submit a request to the plugin author asking for one to be added.
