You might be able to get it to open in a new tab/window, but returning the token to your game gets more complicated. In short Itch doesn't provide a way for web games to identify users and they don't seem to be interested in adding this.

Too bad. But if they don't want to provide oauth, they should take down the documentation. It's misleading.

OAuth does work but mainly for a narrow use case.

Really? How can you use it?

Oh yeah. But what I want to do is identify a user and let them increase their score, like in a real game. I guess itch is not the platform for that.
