We are developing a desktop app in a Python framework (PyQt5) which involves access to remote API services.
We need a way to authenticate these access using auth0. Can someone guide me on this please?
You have a few options:
- Use device flow Device Authorization Flow
- Open the web browser app from Python and do auth code + PKCE
- Use Resource Owner Password Grant
The first treats your python app like a “smart TV”, a device with limited input/output capabilities, since it doesn’t have a web browser.
I have implemented the second, it works fine except I couldn’t get it to close the web browser when done.
The third is not recommended. We do not recommend ROPG anymore.
