Authentication types

Authentication in a custom application is used to confirm and secure who is connecting to it. Since custom applications are not pre-built, you need to set how they will authenticate. This ensures only allowed users or systems can access the application, keeping data safe and preventing unauthorized ac In GripoFlow, there are three simple authentication types:

Key–Value: Used for simple integrations where you just need to pass basic credentials like a username/password or token.
OAuth 2.0: Used when secure, user-based access is required, allowing applications to connect without sharing passwords (commonly used for APIs like Google or Slack).
API Key Exchange: Used when secure, user-based access is required, allowing applications to connect without sharing passwords (commonly used for APIs like Google or Slack).

These are used to securely connect your applications in different ways, depending on what the app needs.
