Why do I need PKCE?

PKCE provides dynamic client secrets, meaning your app’s client secrets can stay secret (even without a back end for your app). PKCE is better and more secure than the implicit flow (AKA the “token flow”). If you’re using the implicit flow, then you should switch to PKCE.

Why is PKCE better than implicit?

Because web applications can’t store secrets, PKCE allows for creating a secret dynamically at the beginning of the authorization flow as a contrast to the static secret in code flow (can only be used for private/server clients).
