Häufig gestellte Fragen

What's the difference between OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect?

OAuth 2.0 handles authorization (access to resources). OpenID Connect adds an identity layer on top (who the user is). For login, you want OIDC which includes OAuth 2.0.

Why is the state parameter important?

The state parameter prevents CSRF attacks. Without it, an attacker could trick users into connecting the attacker's account. Always validate state on callback.
