OAuth doesn’t share password data but instead uses authorization tokens to prove an identity between consumers and service providers. OAuth is an authentication protocol that allows you to approve one application interacting with another on your behalf without giving away your password.
Does oauth2 do authorization?
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization protocol and NOT an authentication protocol. As such, it is designed primarily as a means of granting access to a set of resources, for example, remote APIs or user’s data. OAuth 2.0 uses Access Tokens.
Steps
- Authorize user: Request the user’s authorization and redirect back to your app with an authorization code.
- Request tokens: Exchange your authorization code for tokens.
- Call API: Use the retrieved Access Token to call your API.
- Refresh tokens: Use a Refresh Token to request new tokens when the existing ones expire.
OAuth (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.

How is OAuth used in web server applications?
See how. This document explains how web server applications use Google API Client Libraries or Google OAuth 2.0 endpoints to implement OAuth 2.0 authorization to access Google APIs.
