1 Introduction
══════════════
This package provides a global minor mode for enabling support for
xoauth2 authentication with auth-source. OAuth 2.0, which stands for
“Open Authorization”, is a standard designed to allow a website or
application to access resources hosted by other web apps on behalf of
a user. The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Protocol Extensions (xoauth2)
extend the OAuth 2.0 Authentication Protocol and the JSON Web Token
(JWT) to enable server-to-server authentication. More info please
