While OAuth isn't "for" authentication, everyone uses it that way by "authorizing" access to "view your email address" which is as good as authenticating your email address.

Can you link to implementations that use OAuth in such a manner?

Login with FB, Google, Github, Twitter, etc different systems, separate from OAuth.
