Hi all, I followed this tutorial: https://www.sanwebe.com/2012/11/login-with-google-api-php

 

I have google login working, but I'm a little confused on the best approach to keeping them signed in.

 

Currently, we send out a cookie for their user ID, a special token for the session and a "device" cookie (emails get sent on unrecognised devices), so if they match they will be allowed to login.

 

I'm confused about google though, currently for Google login we store their email address (since it seems google ID's sometimes change - weird). I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be checking something else too when it comes to Google login, or is having our own cookie stuff enough?
