    No, your app shouldn't directly handle any user credentials. When you release your app to other users, they can link it to their own accounts just like you linked it to yours.

    "When you release your app to other users".
    What does that mean,Can you elaborate it?
    How other users can link,can we check that by creating other account of mine ?

    I mean that when you give your app to other people to use, for example, by releasing your app on an app store or marketplace. The API is designed with the intention that each person that uses it would link their own account. When they first start using your app, they can use the app authorization flow it implemented to link their account.
