The document discusses the OAuth protocol which allows websites and applications to access user account information on other sites without providing usernames and passwords. It provides an open standard for authorization that allows APIs to interact with user data through passwordless interactions. OAuth allows developers to build applications that make use of other sites' data and is supported by many large companies like Google, Yahoo, and Twitter as a standard for API authorization.
