Login cookies (at least for Facebook and Google connects) seem to expire after closing the browser. I can't figure out where to change this in the plugins.
I don't want my users to have to sign-in every time.
@ppaigemariee : I am not sure, but I believe this is browser-specific. Because it happens in Chrome, when it's fine with Mozilla Firefox.
@2softsolutions : Just go to your Vanilla forum dashboard, and in the sidebar under 'Addons' click 'Plugins' link. That is where you will find these four addons — OpenID, Google, Facebook & Twitter.
Some points of note:
You SHOULD install 'OpenID' addon prior to installing 'Google' login addon as the latter is basically using OpenID itself.
Enabling Twitter is a bit tricky, and the instructions here, aren't exactly very clear. The only thing missing is, you should put your forum URL in the 'Callback URL' field in the Twitter app settings.

Once installed, go to settings of that plugin, and you'll find the instructions on how to install them. Or like @sahotataran suggested, follow the instructions in these links — Facebook connect, Twitter Connect, Google and OpenId.

Hope that helps!
