OpenID Connect
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use OpenID Connect when implementing user authentication and identity management in applications that require secure, standards-based identity verification, such as enterprise SSO systems, social login features, or any scenario where users need to authenticate across multiple services
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for applications that need to integrate with identity providers like Google, Microsoft, or custom authentication servers, as it simplifies the process of handling user identities while maintaining security and compliance with modern authentication standards
- +Related to: oauth-2.0, json-web-tokens
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
OAuth 1.0a
Developers should learn OAuth 1
Pros
- +0a when building applications that need to securely interact with APIs that require user authorization, such as social media integrations or data-sharing services
- +Related to: oauth-2.0, api-authentication
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use OpenID Connect if: You want it is particularly valuable for applications that need to integrate with identity providers like google, microsoft, or custom authentication servers, as it simplifies the process of handling user identities while maintaining security and compliance with modern authentication standards and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use OAuth 1.0a if: You prioritize 0a when building applications that need to securely interact with apis that require user authorization, such as social media integrations or data-sharing services over what OpenID Connect offers.
