What does OAuth mean?

Open Authorization (OAuth) is an open standard for authorization that allows a third-party website or application to access a user’s data.
OAuth helps users to log in to a third-party website or application using their existing credentials from another service such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, or Microsoft, without giving the third party their username and password.
