Unlike other providers, Google+ does not require you to provide a distinct identifier. Rather, you use a single, generic identifier — https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id — which Google+ uses to retrieve your unique identity URL. Please note that this identifier is not specific to your account, and that you do not need to replace "id" (or anything else) with anything specific to your account. This is all done for you automatically. |
