|   | This node and its related services are deprecated.You can find information on the new methods for implementing social authentication in [Social authentication](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingam/8/am-authentication/social-registration.html). |

Social identity providers do not provide a user's password. Use this node to provide a password to complete the user's credentials before provisioning an account.

|   | The flow must provision an account after prompting the user for a password, for example, by using the [Provision Dynamic Account node](provision-dynamic-account.html). If no account is provisioned, the flow does not save the password.Do not place any nodes that request additional input from the user between this node and the provisioning node; otherwise, the password is lost. |
