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

  • Log in to API Console
  • Complete information about your instance of Auth0.
