We need to choose Desktop app as the Application Type during creating an OAuth Client ID. https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/issues/277#issuecomment-645040380

We hit this issue yesterday as well.

GYB asks you to choose "Other" as the OAuth Client Type - but there is no such option:

If you pick "Web application", which seems a reasonable guess, it will fail - later on it will say "Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch":

Hence, I think the code should be updated to change from "Other" to "Desktop app".
