OAuth 1.0

OAuth 1.0 is a protocol that allows a user to grant a third-party application limited access to their protected data on a service without sharing their password. It works through a process where the user authorizes the app, which then receives a temporary token to act on the user's behalf. This ensures secure and controlled sharing of information, often used for connecting apps like social media or payment services, maintaining user privacy and security during data exchange.
