Today, we're announcing the release of a key part of our
authentication infrastructure – id.heroku.com – under the MIT license.
This is the service that accepts passwords on login and manages all

delegate some access on behalf of a customer to a third party, and we
do use it that way too, Heroku also uses OAuth for SSO. We'd like to
take this opportunity to provide a technical overview.
