OAuth

OAuth is an open standard for access delegation commonly used in token-based authentication systems. It allows users to grant third-party applications limited access to their resources without sharing their passwords. This protocol is vital for secure user authentication and authorization, enabling applications to interact with various services on behalf of the user. OAuth is widely used in scenarios where users log in to a service using their existing social media accounts or other identity providers.
