Google expects you to use the "Directed Identity" feature to sign in
with your Google account. Enter into the box the following string:
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
...and you should end up logged in as a URL at google.com with a
humongous string of hexadecimal gibberish on the end of it. That URL is
your Google OpenID URL.
This will only work if bitbucket.org supports OpenID 2.0.
