+While Fasten has been able to integrate with 27,000+ health care institutions, some of the 
+largest institutions are pushing back because they have concerns about the potential for abuse 
+given the way the Fasten Lighthouse works.
+
+> Just a refresher, Fasten Lighthouse is an auth gateway, providing a publicly accessible server for the provider to 
+> redirect the user to (with their OAuth code) after authentication. Fasten Lighthouse then redirects the user to their 
+> local/localhost installation of Fasten where the code is swapped for an Access Token. (In some cases the Fasten 
+> Lighthouse may also be involved in the OAuth code-> access token swap) 
+> 
+> See: https://docs.fastenhealth.com/faqs.html#what-is-the-fasten-lighthouse-i-thought-fasten-was-self-hosted
+
+
+Here are their concerns in a nutshell:
+- Fasten Lighthouse is a completely stateless application
+- Theres no way to determine how many users are associated with the same Fasten installation (container/desktop app)
+    - **FEAR**: a Fasten self-hoster may offer their server publicly, providing  access to a large number of users  without having to agree to or follow the privacy policy and terms of use that I shared with the provider to get API credentials.
+- Fasten Lighthouse doesn’t(cant?) do any validation that it’s redirecting to an “official” Fasten application
+    - **FEAR**: a completely separate application could use Fasten Lighthouse with their app, completely ignoring the audit and security review process that the Provider has in place for vetting new applications.
+
+Both of these concerns are completely valid, given the 10’s of millions of healthcare records some of these Healthcare providers protect.
