I'm using several social providers on my site, including Google. I would like to ask for password to Google account each time user requests one of my actions. This is for security reasons.
With Facebook, we can send auth_type=reauthenticate parameter. Is there something like this in Google API?
I'm not looking for refreshing tokens, I need to make sure user types his password at any state: whether already authenticated or not.
I read your posts and I can relate to your frustration on this matter (including some of poor responses inline above).
You want to be able to prompt users to reauthenticate with Google in order to prove that the user behind the computer is indeed the account holder. Having required similar functionality myself, I've concluded that they do not implement it. This creates a problem of trust for an application that relies on a Google login for access, but also provides some destructive functionality which should require a reaffirmation of the identity of the user. Wish I had better news for you.
Having implemented this feature with Facebook's API, I was certain Google would provide similar since it's so essential to security, however they don't.
