Episode Details

Why can't you just give an app your password? In this episode, we break down the security model behind OAuth — what's actually happening when you click "Allow" on a consent screen, why scopes and explicit user consent matter, and why requesting new permissions later forces you to re-authorize the whole thing. We explore delegated authority, the difference between access tokens and passwords, and why the apparent inconvenience is by design. Episode #899172 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/899172
