You may receive the above error message when attempting to configure your Google API credentials. It indicates that the credentials cannot successfully authenticate with the Google API.
If you receive this message, check your API key and secret and try again.
You should also check the Authorized Javascript Origins configuration.
To properly configure your Authorized Javascript Origin:
- Retrieve the WHMCS System URL value from Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > General Settings. For example: https://demo.whmcs.com/billing/
- Remove the WHMCS installation directory from the end. For example: https://demo.whmcs.com/
- Remove the trailing slash from the end. For example: https://demo.whmcs.com
- Add this as an Authorised Javascript Origin.
Receiving this error when attempting to sign in using Google indicates that either the Authorized JavaScript origins and Authorized redirect URIs settings in your Google app are no longer valid or Google did not access WHMCS from the System URL. A valid URI must begin with https:// and use an active SSL certificate.
For instructions to set the URL for your Google API app, see Configuring Sign-In using Google.
Receiving this error when attempting to sign in using Google indicates that the Authorized JavaScript origins and Authorized redirect URIs in your Google app are no longer valid.

You will only receive this error message when you are logged in as an admin and are attempting to use the Client Area Google sign in option. To verify the cause of the error, we recommend attempting to log in while authenticated as a user.
Remote account linking via Google has failed. Please make sure that the system clock is set properly
In order for the authentication function to operate, your server time must be within 30 seconds of Google's server time. This error indicates the difference between the two server clocks is outside the acceptable tolerance level (timezones differences do not cause this error).
To resolve this it is necessary to sync your server clock with a NTP server to ensure it is completely accurate. You can use any NTP server of your choice, but Google do offer their own. This can be done from the server command line and typically requires root access:

Verification for current settings failed
A Verification for current settings failed validationResponse: {valid:false} error may display in the Admin Area when you attempt to activate the Google Sign-In Integration by entering valid Client Id and Client Secret credentials and clicking Save & Activate.
This error occurrs when:
- The Authorized Javascript origin or Authorised redirect URI settings are incorrect.
- The WHMCS installation is configured to use an insecure http:// connection. A secure and properly configured https:// connection is required to successfully use the Sign-In Integrations feature.
To resolve this error:
- Check the steps in #Invalid details not saved. Please verify your details and try again above.
- Ensure that an SSL certificate is properly installed on your website
- Go to Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > General Settings.
- Adjust the System URL value so the URL begins with https://.
- Click Save Changes.
- Return to Configuration () > System Settings > Sign-In Integrations or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Sign-In Integrations to complete the activation process
Google Sign-In Integrations will now be activated successfully.
