We are working on creating a Docker container that makes it easy to become an OAuth provider.<p>What would you prefer for your apps and why: OAuth 1.0a, OAuth 2.0 or some other protocol?<p>If you want some other protocol, please add it in the comments<p>Disclosure : I'm the creator of the open source daemon oauthd and founder of oauth.io.
Why not both?
Big companies may prefer 1.0a for security and startups OAuth2.0 for flexibility about permissions and growth with easier integration by partners
OAuth1's /ridiculously/ complex.<p>OAuth2 fits in a tweet: get a login URL, user visits it, redirects back to you with an auth code, swap it for an access token.<p>Out of the major players:<p>- Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram uses OAuth2.<p>- Only Twitter uses OAuth 1.
