While trying to set up a new WordPress plugin on my blog, I realized that I needed Client ID and Client Secret codes to configure it. I've done this for other projects, so I thought it was no big deal. However, when registering the app at console.cloud.google.com, I kept encountering an error with no explanation.

An error saving your app has occurred

I Googled the error and quickly realized my mistake. Every time I was asked to name my project or name my app, I was just pasting the name of the WordPress plugin: Google Apps Login. My mistake was using the word Google.

Immediately after changing the name from Google Apps Login to G Apps Login, I was able to proceed with no problem.
