12 - Is oAuth the Best Solution?


Listen Later

On this show, we have Tom explain to us what oAuth is, and should we really care about it.

Pros:

  • Easy
  • Less accounts to track/manage
  • Cons:

    • Account linking (kinda)
    • [DEPENDING ON IMPLEMENTATION] Your login to a third-party website is controlled by your oauth provider (who you sign in with)
    • Oauth provider bans will affect more than just your primary account
    • Join our signal group.
