What is the difference between OAuth based and Token based authentication? : <p>I thought that OAuth is basically a token based authentication specification but most of the time frameworks act as if there is a difference between them. For example, as shown in the picture below <a href="https://jhipster.github.io/" rel="noreferrer">Jhipster</a> asks whether to use an OAuth based or a token based authentication. </p>

<p>Aren't these the same thing ? What exactly is the difference since both includes tokens in their implementations ?</p>
