Setup

Before you add Sign In With Google, One Tap, or Automatic sign-in to your website setup your OAuth configuration and optionally configure your site Content Security Policy.

Get your Google API client ID

To enable Sign In With Google on your website, you first need to set up your Google API client ID. To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Credentials page of the Google APIs console.
2. Create or select a Google APIs project. If you already have a project for the Sign In With Google button or Google One Tap, use the existing project and the web client ID. When creating production applications, multiple projects may be necessary, repeat the remaining steps of this section for each project you manage.
3. Click Create credentials > OAuth client ID and for Application type select Web application to create a new client ID. To use an existing client ID select one of type Web application.

4. Add the URI of your website to Authorized JavaScript origins. The URI includes the scheme and fully qualified hostname only. For example, https://www.example.com.

5. Optionally, credentials may be returned using a redirect to an endpoint you host rather than through a JavaScript callback. If this is the case, add your redirect URIs to Authorized redirect URIs. Redirect URIs include the scheme, fully qualified hostname, and path and must comply with Redirect URI validation rules. For example, https://www.example.com/auth-receiver.

Configure your OAuth Consent Screen

Both Sign In With Google and One Tap authentication include a consent screen which tells users the application requesting access to their data, what kind of data they are asked for and the terms that apply.

1. Open the OAuth consent screen page of the APIs & Services section of the Google Developer Console.
2. If prompted, select the project you just created.

3. On the "OAuth consent screen" page, fill out the form and click the "Save" button.

   1. Application name: The name of the application asking for consent. The name should accurately reflect your application and be consistent with the application name users see elsewhere.

   2. Application logo: This image is shown on the consent screen to help users to recognize your app. The logo is shown on Sign In With Google consent screen and on account settings, but is not shown on One Tap dialog.

   3. Support email: Shown on the consent screen for user support and to G Suite administrators evaluating access to your application for their users. This email address is shown to users on the Sign In With Google consent screen when the user clicks the application name.

   4. Scopes for Google APIs: Scopes allow your application to access your user's private data. For the authentication, default scope (email, profile, openid) is sufficient, you don't need to add any sensitive scopes. It is generally a best practice to request scopes incrementally, at the time access is required, rather than up front. Learn more

   5. Authorized domains: To protect you and your users, Google only allows applications that authenticate using OAuth to use Authorized Domains. Your applications' links must be hosted on Authorized Domains. Learn more.

   6. Application Homepage link: Shown on Sign In With Google consent screen and One-Tap GDPR compliant disclaimer information under the "Continue as" button. Must be hosted on an Authorized Domain.

   7. Application Privacy Policy link: Shown on Sign In With Google consent screen and One-Tap GDPR compliant disclaimer information under the "Continue as" button. Must be hosted on an Authorized Domain.

   8. Application Terms of Service link (Optional): Shown on Sign In With Google consent screen and One-Tap GDPR compliant disclaimer information under the "Continue as" button. Must be hosted on an Authorized Domain.

4. Check "Verification Status", if your application needs verification then click the "Submit For Verification" button to submit your application for verification. Refer to OAuth verification requirements for details.

Content Security Policy

While optional, a Content Security Policy is recommended to secure your app and prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. To learn more, see an Introduction to CSP and CSP and XSS.

Your Content Security Policy might include one or more directives, such as connect-src, frame-src, script-src, or style-src.

If your CSP includes the:

• connect-src directive, add https://accounts.google.com/gsi/ to allow a page to load the parent URL for Google Identity Services server-side endpoints.
• frame-src directive, add https://accounts.google.com/gsi/ to allow the parent URL of the One Tap and Sign In With Google button iframes.
• script-src directive, add https://accounts.google.com/gsi/client to allow the URL of the Google Identity Services JavaScript library.
• style-src directive, add https://accounts.google.com/gsi/style to allow the URL of the Google Identity Services Stylesheets.

Avoid listing individual GIS URLs when using connect-src. This helps minimize failures when GIS is updated. For example, instead of adding https://accounts.google.com/gsi/status use the GIS parent URL https://accounts.google.com/gsi/.

This example response header allows Google Identity Services to load and execute successfully:

Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: script-src
https://accounts.google.com/gsi/client; frame-src
https://accounts.google.com/gsi/; connect-src https://accounts.google.com/gsi/;

Cross Origin Opener Policy

The Sign In With Google button and Google One Tap may require changes to your Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy (COOP) in order to successfully create popups.

When FedCM is enabled the browser directly renders popups and no changes are necessary.

However, when FedCM is disabled, set the COOP header:

• to same-origin and
• include same-origin-allow-popups.

Failing to set the proper header breaks communication between windows, leading to a blank pop-up window or similar bugs.
