I'm new to the concept of maintaining user accounts in a website. I read from this Google developers page that Google provides an authentication and an authorization service. I'm only interested in maintaining accounts on my website that users can log into using their Google account username and password. I have an Express.js server.
I've spent hours reading about this online and stumbled upon one thing: the passport-google-oauth module can be used to do this. But I was unable to find how to get this working with the latest version of Express. Please help.
I would also like to know how to create a project on the Google Developers Console so that the users do not need Google+ accounts to use oauth2 (to get the Client id and secret).
