Introduction

Enabling an Authentication sign in with Google and to allow users of your application to sign in with their Google account, you will need to register an application in the Google Developers console. After you have registered the application you can use the Client ID and Client Secret supplied by Google to register the Google social login provider in your ASP.NET MVC application.

You can follow the below screenshot:

Open the Visual Studio and select the File, New, then click Project.

project

Select Installed > Templates > Visual C#, and select ASP.NET Web Application from the menu. Here, I have given the name of my project to be “WebApplication8”.

You can give the project name as you wish.
And then click on “OK” button to create your project.

In the below figure as you can see the default MVC will be selected, select MVC and then click “OK” button.

In Solution Explorer, your project has been created. Click on Web Application8 project.

Hit the ALT+ENTER key to show the properties.

Right click on to your project and select properties, select “Web” from the menus and take note of the “Project Url”, as you will need this when specifying the Redirect URI in Google.

Now create a new project in the Google Developers Portal in order for you to use Google as an external authentication provider in your website, you will need to create a project in the Google Developers Console. Head on over to the Google Developers Console. Make sure you must have to login with Google account. Firstly, click on to “Create project” button.

In the “New Project” dialog, give a name to your project and ID.
