OAuth2 - Implicit Flow

Implicit flow is used in old web applications and SPA but due to the expose of access token in URL, it has been deprecated, but let's try to understand it in this thread.

#dotnet #webdeveloper #authentication
Thread 👇

As a first step, the user visits the client app and chooses an OAuth provider(Google) to login.

An authorization request is made by the client app with the client id and token as the response type.

OAuth server asks for the user's consent

The OAUTH server respond with token in the URL

The client app makes request with access token to OAuth server to access the resource

OAuth server responds with requested details.

I hope this is helpful, please follow, comment, and like.
Thank you #dotnet
