# Resource: Connections

# Type: Connection Object

# Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/headless/connections/connection-object.md

## Description: A connection represents a configured authentication provider, such as Google, Facebook, or password-based login, that users can sign in with on a Wix site. Every site is automatically provisioned with built-in connections for Google, Facebook, and password login, in addition to any connections you create.

Connections have a two-phase lifecycle: create and configure a connection, then enable it to make it available for sign-in.
