WebAuthenticationBroker sample

Shows how to use the WebAuthenticationBroker class to connect to OAuth providers such as Facebook, Flickr, Google, and Twitter.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, this sample shows you how to use the OAuth protocol for authentication and authorization. You can choose one of three scenarios:

  • Facebook [C++, C#, JS]
  • Twitter [C#, JS]
  • Flickr [C#, JS]
  • Google [C++, C#, JS]
