It looks like OpenID 2.0 will be replaced by OpenID Connect on April 20 for Google authentication.

So Discourse offers to authenticate by Google OAuth2.

Though OpenID Connect could be a plugin? It seems to build on top of OAuth2.

You classified this as ā€œbugā€? Seriously? Everyone who logs in is notified about this by Google, and thereā€™s been a warning on our Discourse dashboard about it for months.

I donā€™t know how many months itā€™s been, but it has been in Admin->Settings->Login for as long as I can remember.

Take some time looking around as Admin, even if you arenā€™t Admin on your forum it should prove to be worth the time getting more familiar with things

Yep, I translated these sentences to Chinese. I know that :smile:

Just trying to figure out what does the OpenID Connect means.

It means Oauth2

Yeah we amped up the warning level here a lot in 1.2 point release and 1.3, and we reached out to all our older customers using the old Google auth.
