Authorization Code Grant

Used by applications that can securely store client secrets. The client redirects the user to the authorization server, where the user grants permission. The server then redirects back with an authorization code, which the client exchanges for an access token.

Use Cases:

  • Web applications with server-side components.

  • Applications requiring long-lived access.

Security Considerations:

  • The authorization code is short-lived and exchanged for a token.

  • Client secrets are not exposed to the user.

  • Recommended for most applications due to its security features.
