SXSW Interactive 2013
OAuth 2 for Identity and Data Access
OAuth 2 is the latest version of the OAuth standard-- unlocking authorized access to user data from dozens of different APIs like YouTube, Google Apps and Facebook in a way that's easier than ever for developers. OAuth 2 can now be used via OpenID Connect to allow users to easily login and sign up with apps faster, with less developer effort.
This session will cover how web and mobile applications can take advantage of this technology to improve the experience and security of user accounts.
