# OAuth/OpenID Setup

**OAuth** (Open Authorization) is a standard token-based authorization framework. OAuth enables account information to be used by a third party without exposing the user's account credentials to the third party. 

It provides the third-party service with an access token that authorizes the sharing of specific account information. 

**OpenID Connect** is an identity layer built on the OAuth 2.0 protocol that permits a third-party application to obtain a user's identity information managed by a service. This functionality makes it easier for developers to *authenticate* users.
