OAuth2 to authenticate users from the PRO API

[Neozeeeen]

OAuth2 authentication would be an insane feature for the development of tools. I'm aware that implementing this would be tricky and time consuming, just wanted to know if it's something that have been thought or if it could be conceivable long-term ?

Hello, 2FA is on our to-do list. We plan to enforce it once a user logs in from a completely different location.

It might take a while until we work on it as we have other priorities at the moment.

I'm not talking about 2FA, "OAuth 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"

Hey, this is also an option but right now, we do not plan to work on it before finishing other prioritized projects first.

I think we are totally not understanding each other here, I'm not talking about being able to authenticate to PRO with an external provider.

I'm talking about providing the possibility to authenticate to external websites with PRO.

OAuth2 is a protocol used when you click on a "Sign in with ...", and I was talking about having the possibility to "Sign in with PRO" to be able to access identities of PRO users on external tools. But I understand that it's hardly feasible right now beacause of the time it would require and the complexity involved if you never dealt with those protocols and standards.

 

Anyway just wanted to know if it was ever in the discussion, thanks for responding.

I understood that point. It's just something we won't work on right now but might be an option in the future.
