Fetching Client ID and Client Secret in Google

Federated login allows candidates to sign in to the portal using a single set of credentials from Google. Here, Google will act as an identity provider (IdP) and verify the candidate's identity. This eliminates the need for candidates to create and manage multiple accounts and passwords across different platforms.
