• google.clientId and google.clientSecret obtained in the previous step
• google.scope (https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/googlescopes)
• the oauth access/refresh tokens are not stored in plain text, password and salt are used to encrypt them; salt is a hex string. You can generate the salt with hexdump -n 4 -e '2 "%08X" 1 "\n"' /dev/urandom
