## What it is
A collection of ASP.NET Core authentication middleware providing OAuth 2.0 social login providers such as GitHub, Twitter/X, and Dropbox. It lets developers add social authentication to their apps with a few lines of configuration.

## Use cases
- add github login to asp.net core app
- social authentication for asp.net core
- oauth2 sign-in with third-party providers
- enable twitter login in dotnet web app
- multiple social providers in one application
- dropbox oauth integration in asp.net core

## When to choose
- you need social OAuth providers not built into ASP.NET Core
- you want drop-in middleware configured in a few lines
- you maintain an existing ASP.NET Core app using these providers

## When to avoid
- you are starting a brand-new application (OpenIddict client is recommended)
- you need non-OAuth authentication schemes
- you are not using ASP.NET Core

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, middleware, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, security, apis
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
