We're in the middle of rewriting our auth system because Google Sign In is being replaced with Sign In With Google.

Incredibly, I didn't just make that up: https://developers.googleblog.com/2021/08/gsi-jsweb-deprecat...

I tried Google APIs as well, and also gave up at authentication, even though I just wanted something super simple and small (push messages to mobile phone).

Nowdays I'm just using nostr for storing simple data, as it's super simple with no vendor lockin (I can encrypt messages if needed).
