An Illustrated Guide to OAuth and OpenID Connect

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) are internet standards that enable one application to access data from another. Unfortunately, these standards use a lot of jargon and terminology that make them more difficult to understand.

  • How to get Google OAuth API keys?
  • How OAuth works?
  • How to build an OAuth implementation with Node.js?
