Virtually all of Google's APIs currently
support OAuth 2.0, a framework for allowing third-party apps limited access to your data from other services, as their standard authentication mechanism. Starting today, Google is taking its
OAuth 2.0 support a step further by
bringing it to IMAP/SMTP and XMPP, the protocols that allow third-party access to Google services like
Gmail and
Google Talk. This move, says Google's Ryan Troll, will allow developers to give users "tighter control over what data clients have access to, and clients never see a user's password, making it much harder for a password to be stolen." With OAuth 2.0 support, users will simply be able to revoke a client's access to a service like Gmail without any impact to other apps that access the same data.
