I just created an account on a Discourse instance (1.5.0.beta13b) and it displayed the message:

`Your email has been authenticated by Google_oauth2`

To an average user the `oauth2` part means nothing, as such should probably be removed from display.

Done! It will now say Google with 100% less \_oauth2.
