I set up my account here with OAuth via Google (I think). New pc at work, trying to get logged in and it doesn’t seem to be an option anymore?

Yeah, Google killed support for [OAuth](https://developers.google.com/+/web/api/rest/auth-migration#timetable) and mandated switching to Oauth2. Unlike OAuth, which was relatively simple to set up, the configuration process for OAuth2 involves [a whole lot of bullshit](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-google-oauth2-login-for-discourse/15858) that I haven’t turned on yet.

If you want to use it, I’ll take a look tonight and see if I can get it running.

Edit - huh, that actually was only moderately annoying. @dakboy, give it a shot. If you get any weird errors [that look or sound like this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invalid-redirect-uri-in-google-oauth2-api-call-http-instead-of-https/18105?), let me know.

I’ll check it out when I get to the office in the morning, thanks.

Seems to be working OK now, @Lee_Ars! Thanks.
