Editing Understanding OAuth 2.0: Token-Based Authorization (section)

== Why OAuth 2.0 is Preferred ==
# '''Improved Developer Experience''': OAuth 2.0 removes the complexity of signing requests, making it easier to implement.
# '''Better Adaptability''': It supports various authorization flows for different use cases.
# '''Enhanced Security''': Although OAuth 1.0 had strong security with cryptographic signatures, OAuth 2.0 improves flexibility while ensuring security through HTTPS, short-lived tokens, and refresh tokens.
# '''Better Support for Modern Applications''': OAuth 2.0 is designed to work efficiently with mobile and web applications, whereas OAuth 1.0 was primarily built for server-based authentication.
