[@sukumar6723]

How to remove cached session so that we can make user to login every time

[@mananshah2723]

I am getting this error, can anyone help? [GSI_LOGGER]: The given login_uri is not allowed for the given client ID.

[@peachyme1401]

Really helpful and easy to follow!

[@JWJD99]

Thanks Vincent! Great walkthrough

[@zgong1864]

Towards the end of the video, you mention that someone could gain unauthorized access by adding a session variable locally. I was under the impression that session variables are stored and managed on the server side, which is why they are used instead of cookies in many cases. Is this not true?

[@The_Muslim_Vibe_316]

session variables are stored on front end. they can be viewed and edited by users

[@zenkira_]

The session is just a cookie, so it's stored in the client side, but its content is signed with the Flask app's secret using the itsdangerous library, so you won't be able to make any sense of it unless you have the correct key

Thanks for putting this together.

Check that your redirect url is set the the correct address

[@СавелийГрабовый]

Hi! I'm getting a similar error. Have you found a way to solve this?

[@carlosaugusto-mo2hb]

I really didn’t understand what client_secret_files is for and they you created. I’m really confused

[@VincentStevenson]

The client secret file is how you register your app with google so they can authenticate your app with them for their authentication flow.

[@carlosaugusto-mo2hb]

@@VincentStevenson nice, but can I just create the file manually without using "os" library and copy-paste the content from google ?

[@CognitiveCore]

@@carlosaugusto-mo2hb you can use that as string I think
