OAuth

An open standard for token-based authentication allowing users to grant third-party access without sharing credentials.

What is OAuth?

OAuth (Open Authorization) is a framework that allows secure authorization between services without sharing login credentials.

OAuth enables applications to access user data on other services with user consent.

Common OAuth use cases include:

  • Signing in with Google, Facebook, or Twitter
  • Allowing a service to access a user's email, contacts, or files
  • API authentication and delegated authorization

    • OAuth is commonly used in web and mobile applications to simplify authentication while maintaining security.
