OAuth2 comparison
Understand how Corbado’s session management approach compares to OAuth2.
It is important to understand that Corbado does neither operate as an OAuth2 server nor does it strictly follow the OAuth2 protocol. OAuth2 primarily focuses on authorizing third-party access to resources. In contrast, Corbado offers a simpler yet highly secure authentication solution.
However, if you are familiar with OAuth2, you will find some similarities. The short-term session (represented as JWT) serves a similar purpose as the access token in OAuth2. The long-term session (represented as session ID with database entry) functions similarly to the refresh token in OAuth2.
