Facebook was once again the leading option in Q4 2012 for social logins, among online users who opted to use a social network identity to speed up registration on sites across the web, according to January 2013 data from Janrain. But, Facebook lost its majority share from Q3, dropping 5% points to 49% share of logins. Google was the big riser for the quarter, gaining 6% points quarter-over-quarter to reach 31% share.

In Q4, Facebook captured 68% of mobile application logins, up from 63% in Q3 and 54% in Q2. Google was next with 16% share (-5% points), followed by Twitter, at 11% (+1% points).
