Google OAuth Login Guide

Google OAuth allows users to sign in to your WuWei platform quickly and securely using their Google account. This enhances user experience by removing the need to remember additional passwords and increases trust with familiar login options.

Set Up Google OAuth in Google Cloud Console

You need to configure the OAuth consent screen, define scopes, and create an OAuth Client ID.

1. Create or Select Your Project

2. Configure OAuth Consent Screen

Navigate to: APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen

Branding Tab

Fill in basic details:

  • App name (e.g., WuWei Platform)
  • User support email
  • App logo, homepage, privacy policy, and terms URLs
  • Developer contact information

Data Access Tab

This is where you configure the scopes WuWei needs.

Click “Add or remove scopes”, and select the following Google Identity Scopes:

Scope Description
openid Enables OpenID Connect
email Access to user's verified email
profile Access to user's name and picture

3. Create OAuth Credentials

(1) Go to: APIs & Services → Credentials

(2) Click + Create Credentials → OAuth Client ID

(3) Choose Web Application as the application type

(4) Add a name (e.g., WuWei Google Login)

(5) Under Authorized redirect URIs, add:

https://{your_domain}/oauth/google/callback

(6) After creation, Google will provide:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret

Save both securely — you will need them in WuWei.

Enable Google OAuth in WuWei

(1) Log in to the WuWei Admin Panel

(2) Go to: Settings → OAuth Settings → Google

(3) Enable Google OAuth Login

(4) Fill in the required fields:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret

(5) Click Submit to save your settings

Google OAuth is Now Active

Users will now see a Google icon on the login and registration pages. Once they approve access, WuWei will automatically create or link their account.

Testing Tips

  • Use test Google accounts to verify login
  • Check your OAuth Consent Screen configuration — it must be approved for production use
  • Ensure your domain is verified in the Google Cloud Console

Security Notes

  • Google OAuth is handled client-side via a secure redirect flow
  • WuWei only stores the minimum required user data (email, name)
  • All traffic is encrypted via HTTPS
