Authorization Code Grant flow with PKCE

Pros:

• Authorization Delegation: OAuth 2

.0 enables third-party applications to access protected resources on behalf of end users without sharing their credentials.

• Widely Adopted: OAuth 2.0 has extensive community support and is implemented by major service providers and platforms.
• Scalability: OAuth 2.0 supports multiple grant types, allowing flexibility in authentication flows.

Cons:

• Complexity: Implementing OAuth 2.0 requires a solid understanding of the specification and its different grant types.
• Token Management: Managing access tokens, refresh tokens, and token expiration can be challenging.
• Potential Misuse: Incorrectly implementing OAuth 2.0 can lead to security vulnerabilities, such as token leakage or insufficient scope validation.
