Use PKCE when requesting authorisation from an IndieAuth server #236

Open paulrobertlloyd opened 1 year ago

paulrobertlloyd commented 1 year ago

It’s recommended that clients interacting with an IndieAuth server use PKCE (Proof Key Code Exchange) in their request to improve security.

Many servers still allow this to be optional, although the latest version of the IndieAuth spec says this is now required:

All IndieAuth clients MUST use PKCE ([RFC7636]) to protect against authorization code injection and CSRF attacks.

IndieAuth servers typically display a warning if a client is not using PKCE.
