OAuth
Definition.
OAuth: An open standard for access delegation, commonly used as a way for Internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information.
In Practice
This is what powers "Sign in with Google" style buttons — I implement it through Django's django-allauth or a similar library rather than rolling custom OAuth handling, since the security details are easy to get subtly wrong from scratch.
