Signing in: Google, GitHub or email

Continue with Google

Pick your Google account: a new account is created with its verified address, if the platform accepts new sign-ups.

The platform may only accept some email domains (for example your company's): other Google accounts are refused.

If an account with the same email already exists, Google is connected to it only when that address was already confirmed and the account has no two-factor. Otherwise sign in the usual way and connect Google from your Profile: nobody can take over an account just by owning a Google account with the same address.

With two-factor on, you are asked for your authenticator code after Google too.

Connected accounts

Profile → Connected accounts shows how you can sign in. Connect Google needs a sign-in from the last 30 minutes (and, with two-factor on, a current code), then you pick the Google account; it can use another address than your Cloud Buddy account. Disconnect removes it, except when it is your only way to sign in. Every sign-in, connection and disconnection is in the platform's audit trail.

Turning on Google sign-in (platform admins)

Create a Google Cloud project In Google Cloud Console, create a project for the platform (or reuse one).
