Can someone explain the increasing usage of Oauth credentials for pure server-to-server applications (like Stripe payment processing)?

- mooreds 5y agoI haven't worked with Stripe recently, but if I had to guess, I'd say it is some combination of: * Time limited (rotation built in). * If using signed tokens, integrity of contents can be verified. * Lots of libraries and knowledge around how to use it. * Tokens allow for more interesting/useful payloads than an API key.
