      <title>The design of Dropbox's AUTH CODE page.</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/The-design-of-Dropbox-s-AUTH-CODE-page/m-p/240061#M13348</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm creating an Android app that accesses to Dropbox API.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;To access Dropbox, users have to get access token using OAuth 2.0.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In this process, before getting the access token, users have to &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;copy and paste the AUTH CODE&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt; that is displayed in the Dropbox's web site.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have a question about that Dropbox's web site.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;It is &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;very difficult&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt; to copy the code in the page, especially using smart phone.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The start-end indicators for copying never appear with some of my Android devices.&lt;BR /&gt;So I have to vibrate my finger on the screen to make the markers appear.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think that the Dropbox's web page &lt;STRONG&gt;have to be modified&lt;/STRONG&gt; to adjust all devices.&lt;BR /&gt;This is my strong demand to Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But there might be another solution,,, but I don't know, as of this moment. &amp;lt;(_ _)&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;regards.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like part of this may be due to how text selection works on different versions of Android itself unfortunately.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;We recommend using a redirect URI though, so that you can avoid the copy/paste step entirely. You can find information on setting and using a redirect_uri in the documentation:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize&lt;/A&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the advice.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I'd already tried the redirect_uri, but I didnt use it finally, &lt;BR /&gt;because it is impossible or very difficult to install account selector in the redirect page.&lt;BR /&gt;Compared with the redirect page, Dropbox's ready-made page has &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;built-in account selector&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;.&lt;BR /&gt;It is beneficial not only for developers but also for Dropbox's users who would like to change using account case by case.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Regarding text selection, I don't think it is 100% due to each Android version.&lt;BR /&gt;I think that the auth code displayed in the Dropbox's ready-made page is &lt;U&gt;too small compared with the human's finger&lt;/U&gt;.&lt;BR /&gt;It is so difficult to point the target. I think the size of text &lt;STRONG&gt;should be widened&lt;/STRONG&gt; boldly.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I used very big fonts using CSS in the redirect page I mentioned above. It was so easy to select auth code.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think it relatively easy to re-design Dropbox's ready-made page.&lt;BR /&gt;Only a few SCC are required, aren't they?&lt;BR /&gt;I hope Dropbox's customer-friendly API.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;best regards&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the additional information! I'll send this along as a request to optimize this page, but I can't make any promises.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We do still highly&amp;nbsp;recommend trying a redirect URI though. The /oauth2/authorize, which is still used even if you use a redirect URI, does also allow the user to switch&amp;nbsp;Dropbox accounts. (In fact, switching accounts after hitting "Allow" would be too late to change what account is linked to the app anyway.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It sounds like you may not want to use a redirect URI because it sometimes doesn't give the user a chance to switch though, since it may automatically redirect the user if they've already authorized the app. If that's the case, you should set &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize" target="_self"&gt;force_reapprove=true to disable that behavior&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Greg, Thank you for the kind advice.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;force_reapprove=true&lt;/FONT&gt;" is truly nice!&lt;BR /&gt;I'll try redirect-page with it readily.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I really appreciate your support. &amp;lt;(_ _)&amp;gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@76404378936921315FDC0DCB5CA93A26/images/emoticons/1f61c.png" alt=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" title=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Greg,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally I used "&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;force_reauthentication=true&lt;/FONT&gt;" to force users to choice their accounts before they are lead to the redirect-page.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, thank you for your advice. &amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@76404378936921315FDC0DCB5CA93A26/images/emoticons/1f61c.png" alt=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" title=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please anybody tell me how to set the force_reauthentication as true in authorization url.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;DbxWebAuth.Request webAuthRequest = DbxWebAuth.newRequestBuilder().withForceReapprove(true).withRedirectUri(finalUrl, getSessionStore(httpServletRequest)).build();&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;in the above code, there is method for setting force_reapprove as true but no method for force_reauthentication as true.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
