When enabling Login with Google, Rock UserLogins are created in the format Google_Id.

By contrast, Microsoft logins are created in the format Office365_UserName.  This allows administrators to anticipate the user login information and pre-populate staff profiles, so that on first login no duplicates are created, and there is never a red padlock as the first login experience.  

It would be nice if we could do the same for Google.
