Every time you click Sign in with Microsoft, OAuth 2.0 keeps your password out of the app. This episode explains the four players, the flows, tokens and scopes, and how it all works in Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Graph, for anyone who approves permission screens or builds apps. You will understand what you are really granting and which mistakes to avoid.

In this episode
  • 00:00 – Why apps never ask for your password
  • 01:56 – The four players in every OAuth handshake
  • 03:31 – What happens when you click Sign in with Microsoft
  • 05:28 – Why there isn't just one OAuth flow
  • 07:16 – Access tokens, refresh tokens and scopes
  • 08:56 – OAuth in Microsoft 365 and Azure
  • 11:21 – Common mistakes and limits

Key takeaways
  • OAuth 2.0 grants an app limited, temporary access through scoped tokens instead of sharing your password, but it does not prove identity.
  • The authorization code flow with PKCE is the modern default for user sign-in, while the implicit flow and password grant are deprecated.
  • In Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID issues the tokens and Microsoft Graph accepts them, with delegated or application permissions granted by least privilege.

Worth quoting

“OAuth stands for open Authorization, and it's the standard that lets one app reach your data inside another app without ever holding your password.” – Mirko Peters (00:31)

“You might think OAuth is about signing you in, and it's actually about granting access, not proving identity.” – Mirko Peters (01:40)
