Alrighty. In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to let users login to your app using Google.

It will look just like this process:

1: user clicks a login button

2: login to Google

3: get yeeted back to your app…and good stuff, user is now logged in and your app has access to their basic data (no passwords)

As you saw above, this implementation allows your login button to look however you want, it doesn’t require an embedded google button. This was very important for my application when I first learned Google authentication.

The closest thing in the Google documentation that this method of Google login aligns with is OpenID Connect, but I’ve personalized it a little bit.
