OAuth FTW
OAuth is an open protocol that allows secure API authorization through a simple authorization method. It replaces the need for usernames and passwords with tokens and signatures. This allows users to manage third party access to their account without having to change their main password. Many companies have adopted OAuth due to its security and ability to revoke access without changing primary login credentials. Code libraries exist for a variety of programming languages to make OAuth integration easier.
