The users in Asian and European countries are most likely to use Facebook or Google+.
 
As for social sharing, Facebook leads with a 56 percent market share followed by Twitter (12 percent) and G+ (7 percent) in that sector, Bizreport website said.
 
According to the data, young users are adopting social logins faster than their older counterparts.
 
About one-third of both 18-25 year olds and 25-35 year olds have adopted social logins.
 
While 67 percent people use social sign-in from personal computers, less than 15 percent use smartphones for social login, the study showed.
