Hi! Thank you for the help! I need to disable google/microsoft signup and only keep the login. How to disable it? It seems like no matter what i do, user can still signup with google login button. It should be login only, not create new account.
The thing some people don’t understand about these types of signup/logins is they don’t differentiate between signing up and logging in.
They treat everything the same. If there is no email associated they create an account. If there is an email associated they log the person in.
You could just have a list of authorized emails and kick out any that aren’t on the list.
Or, I guess you could do a workflow and check to see if the account was created before today’s date…or something like that, and log them back out if it wasn’t.
it’s really strange that i can’t just disable signup for my platform. It’s unreasonable.

Well, you could just do away with the signup/login since it sounds like you only allow certain users…
and just password-protect your site, and only users with the password could use it.
Added: They enter the password, and if it’s correct, they get taken to the login page. Since you’re using what you’re using, as I said, it will either sign them up or log them in. It’s not that difficult to set up
I just don’t understand the reason why i can’t just disable the signup? What the mysterious and super smart reason behind this?
That has absolutely nothing to do with Bubble.
Bubble has no control over that.
You’re using a 3rd party tool, and that is something you would need to take up with them.
However, I would say you’re probably one of the very few if any that have this problem, because as I’ve said, there are ways you can make it work for you if you decide to use it.
If nothing else, you can go with Bubble’s native login
Google signup plugin is developed by bubble.
Thank you for your help! You are the best.
Yes, it was…
but it helps you connect with that service.
Bubble helps you make the connection, but they don’t dictate the nature of how that service works
They developed a plugin that has only one workflow action - login/signup user with Google (instead of 2 workflows: signup and login). Also when i using my own API call with bubble API connector authentication - i can’t disable the signup either.
But, as I said earlier, Google doesn’t work that way…
they don’t differentiate between sign up and log in.
They do one thing: they take the email and see if it’s already in use or not. If not, they sign you up; if it is, they log you in.
I’m not sure how you have your app set up, but it seems like you need to take another route with your logins. There are plenty of ways to do it…a couple of which I mentioned.
If you care to share what you’re trying to do exactly, and what your setup is, maybe we can give you some good suggestions and help you
It may be a checkbox saying “Disable signup” in bubble settings, that makes sure - no new accounts created, account creation is possible only with “Create user for someone else” workflow action. Just to be able to lock the account creation process. In security settings. Will do feature request.
But how is Bubble going to tell Google how to set up their stuff?
As I said, you’re using a 3rd party service. When you do, you go by their rules. Bubble or anyone else can’t change their rules.
I would say you should look into Bubble’s signup/login feature. Then you can dictate more along the lines it sounds like you’re thinking
I need to apologize here and admit I was wrong.
Was talking to an employee here at work and she said absolutely it was possible to do what you were saying.
There is a way to restrict sign-ups and just allow logins.
Bubble just hasn’t made this possible.
I apologize for being wrong and giving you incorrect information.
I learned something today myself.
Thank you
bubble plugin should be able to control - add user to database or not. It’s not something that is happening on 3rd party side.
If the plugin doesn’t do what you want, you do have the ability to wire the process up yourself without a plugin
I did it with API connector, but it’s still not giving me any ability to disable signup
This is quite an interesting conversation 
But, after having discussed this further at work (yes, we get a lot done), I was right about the way Google handles this. They handle it exactly the way I originally said. The employee is getting fired (just kidding).
The difference is the way the platform handles it.
No, from what I can tell, Bubble doesn’t give you the option to just allow logins.
However, you can wire it in yourself by the methods I described.
This is what Firebase etc. does. They have their own internal processes
