Hey everyone! I’m currently working on a plugin and I’m looking to integrate OAuth for user authentication. I’m a bit stuck and could use some guidance from the community.
Has anyone here successfully added OAuth to their plugin?
Any tips, code snippets would be greatly appreciated!

And to answer your question. you need to generate a clientID and client secret yourself and give it to openai. You then need to use it to validate their request to you in the future to build a secure application.
Check out the docs for furthur details and hopefully it will all be clear 
Good luck!
