FacebookAuthProvider and GoogleAuthProvider

[ibiza240]

is there a reason why the FacebookAuthProvider and the GoogleAuthProvider are not implemented the same way?

The Facebook provider derives from the FacebookAuthenticationProvider class while the Google provider implements the IGoogleOAuth2AuthenticationProvider interface...which way is better?

Cheers :)

Hi @ibiza240 these must be implemented in different ways. They are using the SDK's for their respective service. Google and Facebook have different API's, so each company will publish their own package that includes the lower level code to authenticate on their service. We get the luxury of just passing in a few parameters to their service and letting the code they essentially give us do the rest.

Does that make sense?
