Usability and safety updates to Google Auth Platform- Google Developers Blog

This post details several updates to Google's identity platform, focusing on usability and safety for developers. Key changes include: 1. A dedicated 'Google Auth Platform' navigation section in the Google Cloud Console for simplified OAuth configuration, project registration, and app updates. 2. A change to how OAuth client secrets are displayed, moving from direct visibility to masking after creation, requiring developers to download and manage them securely (e.g., using Secret Manager). 3. Automatic deletion of OAuth clients inactive for 6 months to mitigate credential theft. Developers will be notified of these changes and can restore deleted clients within 30 days.
