Overview
A Flutter plugin designed to simplify web-based authentication by opening a secure browser window for users to log in with external services. It handles the OAuth flow, captures the redirect URL, and returns the result to the app securely. Ideal for integrating third-party login providers like Google, Facebook, or custom OAuth2 services. The plugin supports all major platforms including mobile, web, and desktop. It ensures a seamless user experience while maintaining security through proper URL handling and state management.
