[OpenID Connect](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html) extends the OAuth 2.0 *authorization* protocol for use as an *authentication* protocol. This authentication protocol allows you to perform single sign-on. It introduces the concept of an *ID token*, which allows the client to verify the identity of the user and obtain basic profile information about the user.

Because it extends OAuth 2.0, it also enables applications to securely acquire *access tokens*. You can use access tokens to access resources that are secured by an [authorization server](active-directory-b2c-reference-protocols.md). OpenID Connect is recommended if you're building a web application that's hosted on a server and accessed through a browser. If you want to add identity management to your mobile or desktop applications using Azure AD B2C, you should use [OAuth 2.0](active-directory-b2c-reference-oauth-code.md) rather than OpenID Connect. For more information about tokens, see the [Overview of tokens in Azure Active Directory B2C](active-directory-b2c-reference-tokens.md)

Azure AD B2C extends the standard OpenID Connect protocol to do more than simple authentication and authorization. It introduces the [user flow parameter](active-directory-b2c-reference-policies.md), which enables you to use OpenID Connect to add user experiences to your application, such as sign-up, sign-in, and profile management.
