👉 OAuth, short for "Open Authorization," is like the digital equivalent of a secret handshake between your social media profiles and their uninvited guests. It's the fancy password that lets third-party apps peek into your life without asking, like a sneaky cat in the back of a crowded party trying to steal your secrets.
Example sentence: "I asked my Instagram to grant my new fitness tracker OAuth access, but it decided to use its superpowers for something way more unsettling: tracking my every move from my bathroom mirror."
