What is OAuth?
OAuth is the standard with which an application gains secure access to another system, without sharing passwords. Below you can read how that works.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard with which an application gains secure access to another system without sharing passwords. Via tokens you give a connection exactly the rights it needs. Almost every modern API uses OAuth for authentication.
Access without passwords
With OAuth 2.0 you give a connection access to a system via a token instead of a password. You authorise once that an application may read or write certain data, and receive a temporary key in return.
The advantage is security and control: the token grants exactly the rights needed (scopes), can be revoked and expires by itself. The real password is never shared with the connection.
OAuth in connections
Almost every modern API, from Shopify to Exact Online and Microsoft, uses OAuth for authentication. We set up the authorisation neatly and refresh tokens automatically, so the connection keeps running without anyone having to log in again.
