[Question] Why does Auth0 allow for direct usage of social logins, but with Keycloak I have to register my app at each Identity Provider first? (lemm.ee)

So I'm making a project in SpringBoot with Oauth security.

If I use Auth0 as my Authorization Server, I can register an application there and just say that I want user to be able to login with Google an Facebook. That's all it takes.

If I use Keycloak as my Authorization Server, I can also have users choose Google or Facebook as there prefered login, but in order to provide that, I have to register my app with Google and Facebook first.

So how come it's so easy with Auth0 and a little less easy with Keycloak? Is it a contract thing, does Auth0 have contracts with all these providers or something?

Auth0 has "development keys" for you to test integration with social logins. For production environment, you should still use your own keys.
