Often times, especially at a hackathon, you’ll want a pretty quick way to implement sign-in. Rather than implementing user accounts and storing passwords yourself, you can use a third party to manage all of this for you. There are many options out there, but I’m going to make the case that you should use Snap Kit. It’s quick and easy, and it’s particularly useful if you want to use Snapchat’s other APIs. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to implement logging in with Snapchat in just a couple of lines of code.

Start by creating an account on the Snap Kit website (if you already have a Snapchat account, you can use that instead). Once you’ve verified your email address and accepted their developer agreement, navigate to the “my apps” page and click the big plus to create a new app. You can pick any name for your app, and you should leave all of the other options on their default settings.
