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.

Dropbox Community ModeratorSam S.6 Thanks for the note! The icon on the display_token page actually doesn't use the app's own icon in any browser (unlike the authorize_submit page), but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
Also, the profile picture for the account is rendering for me in the header on the display_token page for me in Safari 12.1.2. Are you sure you're signed in to an account with a profile picture set in that browser?
The "Copy token" button is only shown if the browser supports the mechanism used to copy it to the clipboard. I'll also pass this along as a feature request to see if we can update that to be more universally supported.
Greg-DB, thanks for the quick reply!
Ok, I so this is all expected behaviour. I am not sure if the display_token page can actually identify the client, since no client_id is passed in the fragment. I guess the proper way would be to create my own redirect page...
As for the profile picture, I am definately logged in and can see my profile picture in a different browser tab.
