error=server_error&error_description=Error+getting+user+email+from+external+providerMissing required authentication credential.Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential.See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.\",\n \"status\": \"UNAUTHENTICATED\" } "level":"error","method":"GET","msg":"500: Error getting user email from external provider","path":"/callback","referer":"https://accounts.google.com/","remote_addr":"x.x.X.x","time":"2023-06-06T21:46:11Z","timestamp":"2023-06-06T21:46:11Z"}
