If you want to use someone else’s computer, you sometimes have to prove that you are allowed to use their computer. We use a special way of doing this when computers talk to each other.

In Argentina’s black market traders are getting picky about different USD bills:

After a long time, a new way to login to websites was invented. Many other websites started using it. For a while it was called “OAuth” but now it’s called "OpenID Connect." It has other names too.

If you are into decentralized systems, then learn web 1.0 not web3
