OAuth Basics

Delegate access safely

OAuth provides a framework where users authorize apps to access specific data via tokens instead of sharing credentials, reducing risk and enabling scoped permissions.

Roles

Resource owner, client, authorization server, and resource server coordinate access.

Flows

Use code flow for server apps, PKCE for mobile/web, client credentials for machine calls.

Secure Tokens

Store tokens safely, use HTTPS, and rotate or revoke when needed.
