OIDC
(OpenID Connect)
A standard that lets one service confirm who you are when you sign in
What's it for?
Lets an application use a trusted service to confirm who a user is.
For example…
A work account signs you into another service without a separate password.
A business application uses OIDC to let employees sign in through the company's identity provider and receive proof of who they are
Think of it like…
Showing your passport at a hotel reception to confirm who you are
