Sign in with Fades: overview

Sign in with Fades lets your users log in to your website using their Fades account instead of creating a new password. It's built on OAuth 2.0, the same standard used by most 'Sign in with...' buttons.

How it works

1. You register your app and get a client ID.
2. Your site sends the user to Fades to sign in and approve access.
3. Fades sends the user back to your site with a one-time code.
4. Your server exchanges the code for tokens and reads the user's basic profile.

What you'll need

• A Fades account to register your app with.
• A website with a server that can keep a secret and make requests.
• An HTTPS redirect URL (localhost is fine for testing).

Next: Register an app and the authorization flow.
