How to store Google credentials in ASP.NET app

0.00/5 (No votes)

I am developing a scheduling web app using ASP.net web forms(C#) & jquery ajax(for listing).
I intend to develop a calendar in the app. Store events marked in the local calendar to the Google calendar as well. Also, show events marked on the Google calendar on the local calendar. I know I have to use Google Calendar API for this. But I don't know how to store user's Google credentials in the asp.net app securely & safely.

Any help is appreciated.

What I have tried:

Nothing as yet. But I want to do this using web services & javascript, ajax.

You don't store their credentials, you use OAuth so the user logins in using a single-sign-on mechanism and your app is then given rights to their calendar, you never ask for nor store their credentials yourself.
