Configure Yahoo Single Sign-On (SSO) with Joomla OAuth Client Plugin

The integration of Yahoo Single Sign-on (Yahoo SSO) with Joomla is facilitated through the OAuth 2.0 protocol. The miniOrange Joomla OAuth/OpenID Connect Single Sign-on (SSO) plugin simplifies the process of setting up Yahoo SSO for Joomla, enabling secure user logins. As a result, users can authenticate with their Yahoo OAuth Provider credentials to access the Joomla site.
