Missing "Implicit Grant Flow"

Hello everyone,

I have a question about Implicit Grant Flow. Why there is no such option/section when setting up the token request URL? Only "Authorization Code Grant Flow with PKCE" there.  The app is "client". 

Thank you.

Hi @RogersSong 

Implicit Grant flow is still supported.   But since it is not a very secure authorization flow, we don't include a lot of documentation advertising the functionality.   Instead, we focus on advertising the most secure authorization flow, the "Authorization Code Grant Flow with PKCE".   You can still find information on the Implicit Grant Flow in the documentation.   See these links

Other supported Authorization Flows - look for the section "Implicit Grant Flow"

Authorize endpoint - look for the query parameters that state "For use with the Implicit Grant Flow only"
