OAuth 2.1

OAuth 2.1 is an authorization framework that allows secure access to protected resources on the internet. It lets users grant third-party applications permission to act on their behalf without sharing their passwords. For example, when you log in to a service using your Google or Facebook account, OAuth 2.1 manages this secure handoff. It streamlines and standardizes the process, ensuring that users maintain control over their data while enabling apps to access only what they need. Essentially, it’s a safe way for services to share limited access, enhancing security and user convenience.
