For example, whenever you use Facebook to log into a different service (Yelp, Spotify, etc), you are using OAuth. * OAuth defines several options for passing around authentication data. One popular method is called a "bearer token". A bearer token is simply a string that _should_ only be held by an authenticated user. Thus, simply presenting this token proves your identity.
