(Also known as device flow and [RFC 8628](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8628))
This type of authentication flow is useful for devices with limited input abilities and/or devices without browsers.
This type of authentication flow is useful for devices with limited input capabilities and/or devices without browsers.
> The OAuth 2.0 device authorization grant is designed for Internet-connected
> devices that either lack a browser to perform a user-agent-based
> authorization or are input constrained to the extent that
> requiring the user to input text in order to authenticate during the
> authorization flow is impractical. It enables OAuth clients on such
> devices (like smart TVs, media consoles, digital picture frames, and
> printers) to obtain user authorization to access protected resources
> by using a user agent on a separate device.
