12 - Is oAuth the Best Solution?

Youtube Video

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
