Module · Authentication & gamification
One account. Comments, paywall, debates, all unlocked.
Already have a login? OAuth 2.0 or JWT integration with your reader account system, so subscribers comment in one click. No login yet? Logora ships a built-in, white-label account system at no extra cost. Either way: first-party accounts, plus badges, points and loyalty loops on top.
- +150% comments per day after removing the double login Milenio · year 1
- 2 h integration on the publisher's tech side, then we handle the rest Average
- 10-11% of new daily registrations come from the comment widget Milenio
Why this module
Double login is the biggest leak in the funnel.
A reader who already pays for your subscription should not need a separate account to comment. When Milenio removed the double-login between paywall and Facebook Comments by moving to Logora SSO, daily comments grew 150% in the first year. The reader graph stayed in Milenio's database, and the comment widget became the fourth biggest source of new registrations site-wide.

What you get
Built for newsroom workflows.
- 01
OAuth 2.0 / OIDC out of the box
Plug your existing identity provider (Auth0, Okta, your own Doorkeeper / Keycloak server). Tokens validated with strict algorithm checks and backchannel-logout support.
- 02
Built-in login, if you need one
No login system on your site yet? Logora provides a white-label registration and account system at no extra cost, so you get first-party reader accounts without building or running authentication yourself.
- 03
Paywall hooks
Gate debates, consultations or premium contribution formats behind your subscription tier. Same access logic as your articles, no parallel rights system.
- 04
Gamification engine
Badges (top contributor, source-checker, journalist favourite), points (per comment, per upvote, per source added), reputation tiers that unlock features.
- 05
Argument quality score
Every contribution gets a 0-100 score. Combined with badges, it surfaces the strongest contributions, and powers the reader-tribune system on the roadmap.
- 06
Loyalty loops
Configurable rules: "5 quality comments / week → debate creator badge", "first source added → newsroom mention". Editors define the rules, Logora runs the engine.
- 07
First-party data
Every account stays in your database. Logora is your data processor under Article 28 GDPR. The reader graph compounds into your subscription system.
In production
Used by Milenio.
Milenio replaced Facebook Comments with Logora SSO + gamification in 2024. Daily comments grew 150% the first year, then another 100% the second. The comment widget became the fourth biggest source of new daily registrations site-wide.

Common questions
What publishers actually ask.
-
What authentication protocols are supported?
OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect (the most common), JWT (stateless, including backchannel-logout since April 2026), custom adapters for legacy systems. We've integrated against Auth0, Okta, Doorkeeper, Keycloak, in-house Rails / Symfony / Next.js stacks.
-
How long does the SSO integration take on our side?
About 2 hours of work on your tech team to wire the OAuth client config and the JS snippet. The rest is on us, Logora typically goes live within 1.5 days for the technical integration.
-
Can we run different gamification rules per outlet inside a group?
Yes. Application settings are multi-tenant via JSONB config (April 2026). A media group can run distinct gamification logic per title without code changes.
-
What badges / points does Logora ship by default?
Default tiers: First-time commenter, Top contributor (week / month), Source-checker (validated sources), Journalist-recommended, Quality argument (score > 80). Fully configurable per outlet.
-
Do gamification points have a monetary value?
No. The model is editorial reputation, not paid currency. Top contributors unlock features (longer comment limit, tribune access on the roadmap), not redeemable points.
