Hello Xhable, Let me see if I understand your objectives. You want to authenticate your user's Google credentials so that each person only gets one vote and claims only their own work. (Please let me know if I missed other key goals.) One way you could do this is have the user sign in to the AuthSub page as you described. Since you don't really need to access any data API information, it wouldn't matter which service you requested permission to, you'd never have to use the auth token. I must admit that it might seem odd for a user when they see "x is requesting access to your Google Calendar account" (for example) when you really just want to see that they have an account. If you go this route, I'd recommend setting the session flag to 0 in your AuthSub request, so that users know that you won't be using the auth token more than once. I think this would work for you but I wonder what other ideas are out there.
