What are the benefits of #OAuth 2.0? 🛡 👇 ✅ Simplified authorization flow ✅ Multiple access token types ✅ User control ✅ Standardization and industry adoption ✅ Authorization for APIs Learn more about #OAuth in official guide here: https://lnkd.in/g-KG-fRR

🔐 Unlocking REST API Authentication: Your Essential Guide Basic Authentication: User credentials are encoded and sent in the request header, ideal for simple setups. OAuth: Third-party authentication with defined scopes grants controlled access, especially for social integrations. API Key Authentication: Unique keys for users ensure secure communication, but confidentiality is key. Token Authentication: Utilizing tokens like JWTs enhances security and scalability, perfect for stateless applications.

Everytime I make presentations about our #cipherkey #tap2sign smart authentication module either to the private or public sector or even clients and sometimes investors, I usually get a few questions along this line (question in the video). My response is usually the same. We are building for the future, not the past (more in the video) It is a long haul game and sometimes these things take time to become obvious (I used the example of the electric car) At the same time we are not completely oblivious of the fact that there is the need for user awareness and education. It’s for this reason we are starting with workforce usecases especially for enterprise applications. Personally I believe the future of secure web authentication is going to be key based with things like SB tokens used for access control and token-gating. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Take a listen.

First article about securing a resource with OAuth2/Oidc. I will show in small, focused applications how to work with OAuth2 and Oidc. This article obtain the discovery document, looks at its parts and present the most common grant types. In future articles I will develop code to get access tokens on different grant types.

Google OAuth 2.0 Access Token and Refresh Token When building an oAuth2 integration developers run into three common problems: The Refresh Token is mysteriously only returned sometimes. The Access Token expires randomly. The Access Token is not being generated. Problem #1: Refresh Token Missing The OAuth call may not always return a Refresh Token, but there are two ways to obtain it via oAuth2: Where the user has NEVER logged in before, will send the Refresh Token and the Access Token access_type=offline to force OAuth return of a Refresh Token every time Problem #2: Access Token Expires Randomly This usually happens in a distributed or multi-process application. Everything is running fine, and then randomly every few hours an API Call fails with permission denied. Problem #3: Access Token Not Generated When the Refresh Token becomes stale, it will no longer generate Access Tokens. Solve all this by ignoring OAuth tokens and generating new access and refresh tokens using JWT #jwt #oauth2 #authentication #userauthentication
