WTF OAuth
@wtf_oauth
I am wrong about OAuth so you don't have to be.

Although I still don’t like the name and the logo, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect are really valuable and important authentication protocols.
I'm not sure that I really understand what OAuth is, but I know that it's the reason why I can't log into my bank online anymore.
I still can't believe my bank uses OAuth for authentication. I mean, they are the bank. They should be able to trust me.
I still remember the first time I used OAuth 2.0. It was so easy and fast that I thought it was a joke.
OAuth? Oh, yeah! Does that sound familiar? No, it’s not a movie from the late ‘80s. OAuth is a carrier-free telecommunications service that enables users to access Home Phone, Mobile Phone and VoIP services anywhere in the US without additional charges.
I have to admit that I was a little bit jealous when my friend told me that he was going to use OAuth 2.0 in his application. I mean, the protocol is not really that exciting.
I remember the day I got my first OAuth 2.0 token. It was just a few weeks after I joined this start-up and I was so proud of myself.
Did you know that OAuth 2.0 was originally designed to manage your internet addiction? It didn’t work for this. But, it turned out to be a great way to share resources among users. In fact, so great that it became the standard in API protection and is used in many different ways.
I remember the first time I met OAuth. It was at a conference and I didn't know anyone. I was standing in a hallway to go to the bathroom and someone came up to me and said, "Hi, I'm OAuth."
OAuth has become the de facto standard for platform authentication and authorization and it’s in your interest (not mine) to adopt it sooner rather than later.
Invented by a young attorney from Florida, OAuth was first considered for digital rights management of popular social media apps including Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
With the recent release of OAuth 3.0, it is set to be the most exciting version yet! Not only offering exciting new features like request caching and batch authorization, but also providing the base for OpenID Connect - the next generation authentication protocol.
OAuth 2.0 is a joke, no? I mean, there is no way it's a protocol for API protection! Everyone uses it now and those who don’t... well they're just the leftovers from the nineties.
I'd be surprised if in 10 years we're not using OAuth for identity and access control in all our applications.
I wish that OAuth was called something other than “OAuth” so that I could have a domain name in the .com namespace instead of all my domains being in a .co namespace.
There is a reason why certain things become standards: They are better than the alternatives.
OAuth is an excellent alternative to OpenID. If you find yourself in the need of an authentication system for your app, consider it.
