Introduction In an era defined by the relentless evolution of cyber threats, businesses' security landscape has undergone a profound transformation. Data breaches, once regarded as sporadic and isolated incidents, have become a pervasive and ever-present danger, fueled in part by the inherent vulnerabilities of traditional authentication methods. At the heart of this vulnerability lies the reliance on passwords, which have proven to be an increasingly inadequate defense against sophisticated attacks. Despite efforts to promote password best practices, the prevalence of weak, easily guessable passwords remains a significant Achilles' heel for organizations of all sizes. Compounding this issue is the rapid advancement of hacking techniques, which can render even the most complex passwords susceptible to compromise in a matter of minutes. Faced with this escalating threat landscape, businesses must embrace a proactive approach to security that goes beyond traditional methods. Ente
The OAuth 2.0 Authorization code flow is for web applications with server side components, which allow confidentiality for the customer to be kept on the permission server (confidential client). In general, permission servers need a secret when requesting authentication if more sensitive personal data, such as personal data or refresh tokens have been desired. If you don't, you will only obey the Implicit OAuth 2.0 flow which returns only an access token from the permit server. In the Authorization Code flow, the server-side component of the web application can freely manage the user's session upon authenticating with the authorization server without revealing anything about the authorization server's response (such as personal data or refresh token) to the end-user. A Typical Authorization Code Workflow: The Client-Server attempts to access a resource that requires authorization that it does not have. It redirects the user to the authorization server for authenticatio
