OAuth stands for **O**pen **Auth**orization and is an open standard for authorization. It works to authorize devices, APIs, servers and applications using access tokens rather than user credentials, known as "secure delegated access". |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In its most simplest form, OAuth delegates authentication to services like Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and authorizes third-party applications to access the user account **without** having to enter their login and password. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is mostly utilized for REST/APIs and only provides a limited scope of a user's data. |
