;; This package enables support for xoauth2 authentication with
-;; auth-source. To set up, please put this file in the `load-path' of
+;; auth-source. OAuth 2.0, which stands for “Open Authorization”, is a
+;; standard designed to allow a website or application to access
+;; resources hosted by other web apps on behalf of a user. The OAuth
+;; 2.0 Authorization Protocol Extensions (xoauth2) extend the OAuth 2.0
+;; Authentication Protocol and the JSON Web Token (JWT) to enable
+;; server-to-server authentication. More info please check out:
