To allow sign-in using Google, we need to first create an OAuth 2.0 client in Google's API console.

Here are the steps to create an OAuth 2.0 client and obtain its client ID and client secret that can be provided to Wassup to enable sign-in using Google.

 

  1. Navigate to Google API console and create a new project - https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate.

    01 New Project – Google API Console

  2. Go to the Credentials link under the sidebar by ensuring that we have selected the right project that we just created in the above step. Click on the Create Credentials link at the top.

  3. Select OAuth client ID from the dropdown menu.
