> Set up Google as an authentication provider with Hexclave

This guide explains how to set up Google as an authentication provider with Hexclave. Google OAuth2 allows users to sign in to your application using their Google account.

<Info>
  For Development purposes, Hexclave uses shared keys for this provider. Shared keys are automatically created by Stack, but show Stack's logo on the OAuth sign-in page.
  You should replace these before you go into production.
