Usability and safety updates to Google Auth Platform

Google's identity platform, which supports millions of developers with user authentication and API access through OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect standards, is undergoing enhancements to improve security and usability. A significant update is the introduction of a dedicated Google Auth Platform navigation section in the Google Cloud Console, simplifying OAuth configuration and project registration. Additionally, OAuth client secrets will now be masked in management pages to bolster security, requiring developers to securely store them upon creation. Automatic deletion of OAuth clients inactive for six months will also be implemented to prevent credential misuse, with notifications provided for potential restoration. These changes aim to streamline the developer experience, ensuring a secure and efficient integration process.
