OAuth Authentication

OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization. OAuth 2.0 focuses on client developer simplicity while providing specific authorization flows for web applications, desktop applications, mobile phones, and living room devices.

It is implemented by the OroOAuth2ServerBundle that supports OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant (with PKCE extention), OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant and OAuth 2.0 Password Grant.

For more details, see Manage OAuth Applications and Manage Customer User OAuth Applications.
