Description

OAuth is an open-standard authorization protocol or framework that provides a way for applications and services to securely access and share data. It enables users to securely grant access to their data or resources hosted on one site to another site without having to share their credentials. OAuth provides a secure authorization flow between two applications and ensures that user data and resources remain secure. OAuth is commonly used in applications such as social media, cloud storage, and email services. The protocol allows users to authorize applications to access their data without having to share their credentials with the application. This ensures that the user’s data and resources remain secure. OAuth also allows applications to securely share data with each other and provide users with a secure way to access their data from multiple locations.
