The Token Exchange extension defines a mechanism for a client to obtain its own tokens given a separate set of tokens. This has several different applications including:
Single-sign-on between multiple mobile apps without launching a web browser
A resource server exchanging a client's tokens for its own tokens
Leaking authorization codes and access tokens. Perhaps the most infamous OAuth-based vulnerability is when the configuration of the OAuth service itself enables attackers to steal authorization codes or access tokens associated with other users' accounts.

The token can be verified via introspect endpoint or by signature. The most common way to build built-in token verification into the system is to introspect the token on the API Gateway and verify the signature on other services.
To get a refresh token , you must include the offline_access scope when you initiate an authentication request through the /authorize endpoint. Be sure to initiate Offline Access in your API. For more information, read API Settings.
Security issues with OAuth2 are best addressed by choosing the right OAuth2 authorization flow for your application based on your use case, and not by token type. The advantage of using JWT over OAuth2 is improved performance and reduced process complexity for some processes.
OAuth 2.0 allows users to share specific data with an application while keeping their usernames, passwords, and other information private. For example, an application can use OAuth 2.0 to obtain permission from users to store files in their Google Drives. This OAuth 2.0 flow is called the implicit grant flow.
The API we'll use is Google OAuth 2.0 Playground. It's public, but it has rate limits on the requests you can make. This “free” API will work wonderfully for testing your application and understanding how OAuth works, but it isn't meant for production-level code.
Authentication is ignored in OAuth2 and OIDC because it is a separate concern. This allows OAuth2 and OIDC to focus on the nitty gritty details of getting the resource owner to the authorization server as well as generating access and identity tokens.
OAuth 2.0 enables the safe retrieval of secure resources while protecting user credentials. Some apps may need to authenticate during the configuration phase and others may need OAuth only when a user invokes a service.
The purpose of OAuth2 Tokens is to authorize requests at a first party server (or API). If the third party uses the OAuth2 Access Token as proof of authentication, an attacker could easily impersonate a legitimate user.
It replaced OAuth 1.0 in 2012 and is now the de facto industry standard for online authorization. OAuth 2.0 provides consented access and restricts actions of what the client app can perform on resources on behalf of the user, without ever sharing the user's credentials.
