Welcome! This video is a full breakdown of **OAuth 2.0’s most secure flow** — the **Authorization Code Flow** — along with the powerful identity layer that is **OpenID Connect (OIDC)**.
We take you step-by-step through how apps can securely get access to user data **without ever seeing passwords**, and how **OpenID Connect** enables secure identity management using the **ID Token**.
👨💻 Whether you're a backend engineer, security architect, or just diving into OAuth, this session will give you the **full picture** — with real HTTP examples, diagrams, a Python code snippet, and PKCE explained!
