OAuth

Neos provides some OAuth Functionality as a feature for its users.

What is OAuth?

OAuth is an open standard which allows other applications on the internet to access your Neos Account details without you sharing your Neos Password with them. OAuth provides a consent based process that ensures that you as a User agree to grant these applications access before any data is exchanged. OAuth is commonly implemented and seen across the internet and many applications support it.

Neos OAuth Status

Neos' OAuth is in the very early stages, using it requires registration which is currently only possible with manual approval. Once you have registered you cannot do much with OAuth and Neos right now but this will be expanded in the future to allow things like:

• Account Linking
• Profile Information Sharing
• Providing other Applications with the ability to:
  • Manage / Read your Messages
  • Manage / Read your Friends List
• etc.
