Multiple redirect URIs and token refresh for OAuth apps
We’ve released multiple updates to the OAuth app and GitHub App platforms to support more secure app development: OAuth apps can opt in to expiring access tokens and refresh tokens.… The post Multiple redirect URIs and token refresh for OAuth apps appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
What happened
The release provides support for multiple redirect URIs and introduces the option for OAuth apps to implement expiring access tokens and utilize refresh tokens.
Why it matters
These changes improve security for developers by allowing better control over access tokens, which is crucial for managing permissions and ensuring that apps only maintain access as needed. This can lead to more secure integrations and a reduced risk of unauthorized access.
