Hi westor, Finding the best solution depends on how you want to use the authentication information. If you're merely concerned with having a unique identifier for each user, the OpenSocial API provides this for you. You can then use this identifier to store information within the gadget or on a remote site. No further authentication is necessary.
If you want write access to information stored in other Google properties (Docs, Spreadsheets, Calendar, etc.) then you'll need to use a different approach. For SSO, you can use AuthSub with a type="url" gadget that points to a page on your own site (which handles authentication). Details on AuthSub are here: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/authsub.html. Neither of these solutions will allow you to create Google accounts because that process is not intended to be automated. But, you can feel free to create local accounts within your gadget based on unique identifiers provided by either of the above solutions.
