OAuth 2.0
Allow users to grant access to their applications.
OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard protocol that enables secure, delegated access to APIs without requiring users to share their passwords with applications. Instead of handing over credentials, a user authorizes a trusted identity provider—such as Google, Microsoft, or an enterprise login system—to issue short-lived access tokens to a client application. These tokens define who is allowed to access what and for how long. By separating authentication (verifying identity) from authorization (granting specific permissions), OAuth 2.0 provides a flexible, scalable way for web, mobile, and server applications to safely interact with protected resources while maintaining strong security and user control.
