  3. Redirect to a third party authentication endpoint.
  4. Make a request to a third-party API endpoint
  5. Receive authorization code.
  6. Make a request to the access token endpoint.

2. What can you do with an authorization code?

is an alphanumeric password that authorizes its user to purchase, sell or transfer items, or to enter information into a security-protected space. An authorization code is typically a sequence of letters, numbers, or a combination of both, that validates a person's identity, approves a transaction or provides access to a secured area.

3. What can you do with an access token?

Access tokens are the thing that applications use to make API requests on behalf of a user. The access token represents the authorization of a specific application to access specific parts of a user’s data. The token endpoint is where apps make a request to get an access token for a user. This section describes how to verify token requests and how to return the appropriate response and errors.

4. What’s a benefit of using OAuth instead of your own basic authentication?

  • enables apps to obtain limited access (scopes) to a user's data without giving away a user's password.
  • created as a response to the direct authentication pattern.
  • create a better system for the web
  • federated identity was created for single sign-on (SSO).
