• JWT seems very popular because of scalability and easeness of deployment, as it is more standardized the way you do things than OAuth that admits disparate implementations. JWT could be considered in some way a standardized implementation of TFA. – Jesús Franco Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 22:44
• Yeah, after trying the OAuth, I ended up using JWT for the reasons you mentioned. – Ali Basheer Commented Aug 12, 2017 at 23:29
