OAuth2, features, and advantages.
Thread ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
OAuth2 is an authentication protocol that allows you to authorize applications to access your data.
It is the successor to the OAuth 1.0 protocol and is designed to provide a more secure and efficient way to authorize applications.
OAuth2 provides a standard, secure method for these interactions.
For instance, you can tell Twitter that you agree that the site on the domain example. com is allowed to access your profile information (like name and email) without sharing your password with example. com.
1๏ธโƒฃ How does it work?
OAuth2 works by delegating user authentication to the service that hosts the user account and authorizing third-party applications to access the user account.
You log in to the OAuth2 provider with your login and password.
When the OAuth2 provider verifies your identity, it issues an access token.
This token is then used to access the 3rd party application.
The token usually has an expiration time.
It means the application must request a new token when the old one expires.
2๏ธโƒฃ Features and advantages of OAuth2
- You can use it to read user data from another application.
- It is a server-side web application that does not interact with user credentials.
- It is easier to implement and provides stronger authentication
- It provides the authorization workflow for mobile, desktop, and web apps.
- It gives users more control over their data.
- OAuth2 relies on SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to ensure data between the web server and browsers remain private.
