A web-based debugging tool for testing and troubleshooting OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authorization flows.
OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect Debugger is a web-based tool that helps developers test and troubleshoot OAuth and OpenID Connect authorization flows. It captures callbacks from authorization servers and provides detailed feedback on successes or errors, simplifying the debugging process for authentication implementations.
Developers and engineers implementing OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect in their applications, particularly those who need to debug authorization flows and resolve configuration issues.
It offers a free, interactive way to test authorization requests without setting up complex debugging environments, making it faster to identify and fix issues compared to manual testing or logging.

Temporarily set your OAuth client redirect URI to the debugger's endpoint to capture and inspect authorization callbacks in real-time, as demonstrated in the README screenshots with step-by-step visuals.
Decodes and displays error messages from authorization servers to help diagnose misconfigurations, a key feature highlighted in the project description for troubleshooting failures.
Allows building and sending authorization requests with various parameters and response modes, enabling thorough testing without manual coding, as shown in the GIF for switching response modes.
Web-based and accessible via oauthdebugger.com or oidcdebugger.com, eliminating the need for local setup or dependencies, making it instantly usable for quick debugging.
Relies on external servers which could be unavailable or raise security concerns, as all callbacks are routed through oauthdebugger.com, potentially exposing sensitive data.
Primarily designed for common OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows, so it might not support advanced or custom grant types without modification, limiting use for niche implementations.
Lacks features for masking or anonymizing data sent to the debugger, which may not comply with organizational policies for handling confidential authentication information.
