Definition

Authorization framework that lets users grant apps access to their data without sharing passwords.

إطار تفويض يتيح للمستخدمين منح التطبيقات وصولاً لبياناتهم دون مشاركة كلمات المرور.

Why It Matters

404Fault users can sign in with Google via Firebase Auth, which implements the OAuth 2.0 flow silently.

يمكن لمستخدمي 404Fault تسجيل الدخول باستخدام Google عبر Firebase Auth الذي ينفذ تدفق OAuth 2.0 بصمت.

Full Definition

OAuth 2.0 is the protocol behind 'Sign in with Google' and 'Sign in with GitHub'. The user authenticates with the identity provider (Google), which issues an access token to your app. Your app uses the token to access allowed resources (email, profile) without ever seeing the user's password. Firebase Auth handles OAuth for 404Fault.
OAuth 2.0 هو البروتوكول وراء 'تسجيل الدخول باستخدام Google'. المستخدم يصادق مع مزود الهوية الذي يصدر رمز وصول لتطبيقك.

Example Usage

“404Fault users can sign in with Google via Firebase Auth, which implements the OAuth 2.0 flow silently.”

“يمكن لمستخدمي 404Fault تسجيل الدخول باستخدام Google عبر Firebase Auth الذي ينفذ تدفق OAuth 2.0 بصمت.”
