Implicit Code Flow for Authentication

This lesson discusses the Implicit code flow of the OpenID Connect.

This flow is also similar to the Implicit grant type discussed in the OAuth chapter. This flow is used for single-page JavaScript apps or those apps which do not have a backend.

In Implicit flow, the response_type field can either take token or id_token or token_id_token as value. This leads to some interesting cases depending upon what is provided in the scope field.
