Consider a situation where a user logs into an application using their social media account. How does OpenID Connect facilitate this process?
- OpenID Connect is an authentication protocol that allows the application to verify the user's identity with the social media provider, receiving an ID token, which the application can use to authenticate the user.
- OpenID Connect acts as a social media API to fetch user data and use it for authentication.
- OpenID Connect creates a new social media account for the user.
- OpenID Connect sends the user's social media credentials to the application for authentication.
OpenID Connect is an authentication protocol designed to verify a user's identity with an external identity provider, such as a social media account. It facilitates the process by allowing the application to request and receive an ID token from the identity provider, which can then be used to authenticate the user in the application. Other options are incorrect and don't align with the purpose of OpenID Connect.
