The Google login wraps the whole flow in a trojan horse, though. Users are taught to trust the single sign ons from FB/Google, and they're also taught to check the URL. Both of those would be false senses of security in this case. In isolation, this isn't necessarily a security vulnerability. But that it breaks down when users do what they're supposed to do? That's bad.
