Authorization via copy/paste of OAuth2 access token?
PfP: Pain-free Passwords is normally used as a browser extension, but I also provide a web client. That web client is supposed to be downloaded and run from local file system, so there is no real red...
- That's correct, the client secret is required for the code flow.
If you want to use the token flow, you can use response_type=token and redirect_uri=https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token (as long as you register "https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token" for your app). The token flow doesn't require the client secret, and the display_token page will just show the access token itself to the user for copy/pasting it.

Great, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
