OAuth is an open standard authorization protocol that allows applications to obtain limited access to a user's resources on another service without exposing their password. It is widely used by developers to enable features like 'Sign in with Google' or granting a third-party app access to a user's social media or cloud storage data. The current version, OAuth 2.0, is the industry standard for secure delegated access across web and mobile applications.
