Comment:

 The following actions already exist that allow you to extend the login and
 registration forms: `login_head`, `login_form`, `register_form`,
 `register_post`.  Using these, you could hide the existing form with CSS
 and replace it with your own.  You'll also want to hook into the
 `authenticate` filter to add the logic for your third-party login
 mechanism.

 If you **really** want to disable the standard WordPress login that uses
 username and password, you can do that with `remove_filter('authenticate',
 'wp_authenticate_username_password', 20, 3);`

 (closing as 'worksforme' since I believe the existing hooks will do what
 you want.  If not, feel free to reopen and explain further)
