OAuth 2.0 Flows

Authorization Code Flow

The most common OAuth flow. After user authentication, the client receives an authorization code and exchanges it for an access token and refresh token.

Client Credentials Flow

Designed for single-page applications. The access token is returned directly to the client without an intermediate authorization code.

Implicit Code Flow

Designed for single-page applications. The access token is returned directly to the client without an intermediate authorization code.

Resource Owner Password Grant Flow

Allows users to provide their username and password directly to the client, which then exchanges them for an access token.
