Hi hiren, Since you mentioned that your application would be web based, I strongly encourage you to use AuthSub instead of Client Login. Since your users would already be in the browser, having them redirect to the Google sign-in page wouldn't be too big a problem, especially when weighed against the lengths you would need to go to to protect the users email address and password. This section of the developer's guide should help you get started and I've also included a link to the documentation for AuthSub.
