Hello,

I’m integrating Google Social Login with my Auth0 application. I have copied the Client ID and client secret from my Google Cloud Project to the Google social connection setting in Auth0. I get this error while testing the connection.
I’ve verified that the Client ID and secret are copied correctly. What am I missing? Wish the error was more descriptive.

{
“error”: “access_denied”,
“error_description”: “secret must be a string or bufferor a KeyObject”
}

Sree.

suggests that Auth0 is receiving a malformed or unexpected format for the client secret from the Google configuration — likely not a string or it has some encoding/character issue.

Thank you for your message.

I get the same error when I remove my keys and default to Auth0 development keys. Makes me want to believe that something other than google-oauth client secret may be causing it.
