  • Bearer Tokens have proven to be susceptible to reuse by unauthorized parties.
  • In common OpenID Connect code flows, the response to the user's consent is used by the relying party (confusingly called the user's clent) to request an access_token (which is typcially a Bearer Token) and a refresh_token (which is typically a Sender Constrained Token.
