OAuth 2.0 is an open standard that allows users to grant permissions to third-party applications(such as PPC BidMax), so that the application can interact with web services on the user’s behalf. It enables your PPC BidMax application to access a user’s AdWords account without having to handle or store the user’s username or password.
