The problem: sharing without passwords

Imagine "Log in with Google" on a third-party app. The app needs access to your Google profile — but you'd never hand it your Google password.

OAuth 2.0 solves this: it lets you delegate access to specific data (scopes) for a limited time, without the app ever touching your password. You stay in control.
