# About Externally-Managed Login Pages

> **Note:** Custom login pages are only available for self-managed headless projects. Wix-managed headless projects can [implement a Wix login page](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/develop-your-project/wix-managed-headless/authentication/handle-members-with-a-wix-login-page.md).

You might choose to allow [members](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/develop-your-project/self-managed-headless/authentication/about-authentication.md) to log in to your site or app with an external provider, using a custom login interface that syncs with Wix’s authentication.

> **Notes**:
> - External login with Google and Facebook are fully supported in the [Wix login page](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/develop-your-project/self-managed-headless/authentication/members/wix-login-page/wix-managed-login-using-the-rest-api.md). When working with Google or Facebook as your external identity provider, only use this externally-managed flow if you require a custom login interface.
> - See our tutorial and sample repo to [Set Up an Externally-Managed Login Flow with Next.js and Github](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/get-started/tutorials/self-managed-headless/other-tutorials/set-up-an-externally-managed-login-flow-with-next-js-and-github.md).
