What Wikipedia says

oAuth (version 1: RFC-5849, version 2: RFC-6749; sometimes incorrectly extended to open authorization) is an open standard for access delegation, commonly used as a way for internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites but without giving them the passwords; simplifying secure access.
