What?

This is a fast track course to understanding how OAuth2 and OpenID work and are recommended to be used today, based on firsthand recommendations from conversations and workshops with the creators and working groups of the OpenID and the Financial-Grade API standards. I've tried to make it concise so that you can understand it quickly!

The specs can be quite intense, but they're very important. I've compressed information about implementing OAuth2 and OpenID based on many RFCs, real-life practices and conversations with industry professionals. This course considers the latest recommendations from the OpenID community, including Google, Microsoft, Auth0, Okta and Ping Identity.
