AspNet.Security.OAuth.Twitch
Advanced tools
ASP.NET Core security middleware enabling Twitch authentication.
AspNet.Security.OAuth.Providers is a collection of security middleware that you can use in your ASP.NET Core application to support social authentication providers like GitHub, Twitter/X or Dropbox. It is directly inspired by Jerrie Pelser's initiative, Owin.Security.Providers.
The latest official release can be found on NuGet and the nightly builds on MyGet.
[!TIP] While the aspnet-contrib providers are still fully supported, developers are encouraged to use the OpenIddict client for new applications.
For information, see the Migrating to OpenIddict section.
Adding social authentication to your application is a breeze and just requires a few lines in your Startup class:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddAuthentication(options => { /* Authentication options */ })
.AddGitHub(options =>
{
options.ClientId = "49e302895d8b09ea5656";
options.ClientSecret = "98f1bf028608901e9df91d64ee61536fe562064b";
});
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
}
See the /samples directory for a complete sample using ASP.NET Core MVC and supporting multiple social providers.

The OpenIddict client and its 100+ web providers have significant advantages over the simpler OAuth 2.0-only authentication handler that is used by the aspnet-contrib providers:
Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Polly (or Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience on .NET 8+)
to make backchannel HTTP communications less prone to transient network errors.For more information on how to get started with the OpenIddict web providers, you can read:

Links to the latest stable and nightly NuGet packages for each provider, as well as a link to their integration documentation are listed in the table below.
Documentation for the providers' settings can be found here.
If a provider you're looking for does not exist, consider making a PR to add one.
