Hi @Jason Liu ,

OAuth is a protocol that allows one application to share a finite set of its private resources and data (through gadgets, for example) with another application. These applications could be a Confluence or JIRA site. 

Using OAuth, you can access data within an Atlassian application installation externally.

Personal access tokens are a safe alternative to using username and password for authentication with various services. 

You can go through below link to know how to use Personal Access Tokens

More details about OAuth is in https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GADGETS/Configuring+OAuth
