About
OAuth is an open standard authorization protocol that allows applications to obtain limited access to user accounts without sharing passwords across web, mobile, and desktop environments.
It uses token-based authorization with access and refresh tokens, lets users grant specific permissions to applications such as access to profile data or contacts, and is widely adopted by online service providers such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and GitHub.
Onion sites are websites on the dark web that use the .onion top-level domain and are only accessible through online routing through Tor.
