Add Google Hosted Authentication to a Python Flask App

I walk through how to register your own service with Google so that you can use Google Hosted Authentication via OAuth 2.0 for Flask web applications. Full credit goes to code-specialis.... Here's the link to my Dockerized clone of Yannic's repo: github.com/vas...

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?

[@ZootedRambler]

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

[@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

[@mcnutley]

I'm getting "This site can’t be reachedlocalhost refused to connect."

[@CarlosHernandez-pl4vs]

Check that your redirect url is set the the correct address
