Authorization Protocols

OAuth (Open Authorization)

OAuth vs Auth0
  • OAuth (Open Authorization) is an authorization protocol that allows you to grant access to protected resources on a server (for example, accessing information from a Google or Facebook account) without sharing your credentials (such as username and password). It is widely used to delegate permissions securely between different systems.

    • Example: When using Google or Facebook login on a website, OAuth enables this authentication.

  • Auth0 is an identity-as-a-service platform that provides complete authentication and authorization solutions. It can be used to implement protocols like OAuth , OpenID Connect, SAML, among others, but Auth0 is a complete solution  that abstracts and simplifies authentication and authorization implementation.
