What is this auth feature called and how do I do this?

When I am in a desktop app and need to authenticate myself, the browser opens with an auth page and when I added my credentials successfully/logged in through oAuth, I am also authed in the desktop app. I have a web app with nextAuth and I want to auth people through that when they want to log into my desktop app.
Examples if you don't know what I am talking about:
Logging into github through vscode(for vscode setting sync),
figma also does this(this is the link that opens: https://www.figma.com/app_auth/id/grant?desktop_protocol=figma&locale=en)
