OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow (conceptual integration)
A secure way for a web app to get a user's identity from an external OAuth provider by exchanging a temporary code for tokens on the server.
"I want users to sign in with Google/Facebook without asking for their password."
The authorization code flow redirects the user to the provider to sign in, receives a short-lived code in a redirect to your server, and the server exchanges that code for tokens (ID/access) to obtain the user identity securely.
