OAuth 2.0 Integration
Integrate third-party authentication providers using the OAuth 2.0 framework for seamless user sign-ups and logins.
Intro to OAuth 2.0
Ever logged into an app using "Login with Google" or "Login with Facebook"? That's OAuth 2.0 in action!
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that allows third-party applications to obtain limited access to a user's resources on an HTTP service, like Google or Facebook, without sharing their credentials.
It's all about granting permission securely.
Why Use OAuth?
Why not just ask users for their Google password?
- Security: Your app never sees the user's main password.
- User Experience: Seamless logins without creating new accounts.
- Limited Access: Users grant specific permissions (e.g., read email, not delete it).
- Scalability: Focus on your app, not building complex auth systems.
