OAuth

OAuth is a secure way for apps or websites to access your information stored on another service, like your social media account, without sharing your password. Instead, it uses a system of permissions, allowing you to approve specific access (e.g., posting updates) without giving full login details. This process involves a temporary token—think of it as a pass—that grants limited access, keeping your credentials private. OAuth is commonly used when you "Log in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Google," ensuring streamlined access while maintaining your security and control over your data.
