    OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, commonly used as a way to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites, but without giving them the passwords.

    OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open protocol that provides secure API authorization from applications in a simple and standardized way. OAuth can authorize access to resources without revealing user credentials to apps. Apps that use OAuth can also directly authenticate and access Salesforce resources without a user’s presence.

    The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. APIs, such as the Salesforce REST and SOAP web service APIs or the Chatter REST API, can use OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to Salesforce resources.

    Thanks
