I had a go at writing oAuth from scratch, to understand it. I made a working solution.

But I don't use oAuth; while I was writing the code, I understood it, but I don't any more. An auth system needs to be understandable and transparent to a normal user, and oAuth is not such a system. Like, I couldn't explain it to my non-tech relatives, even if I swotted up on it first.

Explaining blockchain-based auth to a non-tech user is a problem of a much greater magnitude.
