On this show, we have Tom explain to us what oAuth is, and should we really care about it.

Pros:

• Easy
• Less accounts to track/manage

Cons:

• Account linking (kinda)
• [DEPENDING ON IMPLEMENTATION] Your login to a third-party website is controlled by your oauth provider (who you sign in with)
• Oauth provider bans will affect more than just your primary account
