You can either do it through OAuth or OpenID for both cases there are very detail examples on passport.js what else you need

for OAuth Example https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-google-oauth/blob/master/examples/oauth2/app.js

for OpenID Example (deprecated) https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-google/blob/master/examples/signon/app.js

I think they are quite self explantory..
