Where to store client_id and client_secret

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge. If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options: Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or Temporarily refraining from using Reddit Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium as a way to voice your protest.

June 25, 2023 -

You can now use Sync for Reddit after July 1 using the Spoof client patch with ReVanced!

Follow the instructions in this post.

Troubleshooting:

If your patched app crashes, your APK file may be broken. Check if it does not crash when you don't patch it. If your APK file turns out to be broken, you need to source a working APK from somewhere else.

Here is a detailed tutorial .

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Where to store client_id and client_secret

December 10, 2023 -

Hello guys. New programming learning about backend (SpringBoot). I am building a simple library app and am using Google Oauth2 for log in and out, and planning to host it using AWS with docker. I want to ask, what are some of the most popular ways to store client_scret in a safe way?

I tried googling but never seems to find a straight answer. There must be like, top 3 most popular ways to store client secret, or something.

Please help

You can't really get much "safer" than just storing these credentials in a file or environment variable on your server. No matter what you do, the client ID and client secret must be accessible to your server-side code. So for instance, there is little point in encrypting them, because your program would also need to have the corresponding decryption key. If your server was compromised, then an attacker would be able to get both the encrypted credentials and the key, so this is just security by obscurity. So the important thing is not how you store the credentials on the server itself, but minimizing the number of possible other ways they could be compromised. For instance: Make sure your application only serves static files from one particular directory, and that your credentials aren't stored in that directory. Poorly-written static file servers may be vulnerable to path traversal attacks. Don't store a copy of the production credentials in your Git repo. If other users have access to the same server, then don't pass credentials on the command line (where they could be viewed using tools like ps). Pass them in environment variables, or store them in files with permissions set to limit who can read them. Don't accidentally generate debugging output that might cause your credentials to be written to log files.

You need to create/register the app with reddit, and you'll get an id and secret from them to use in your script. Here's a guide (with a link to a quickstart guide if that's more your fancy): https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/OAuth2

The code flow can be used with an installed application just as described above with one change: set the value of client_secret to None when initializing Reddit.

r/redditdev on Reddit: OAuth: client_secret vs PKCE

June 6, 2024 -

Learning OAuth2, and I'm seeing the reason for using PKCE is for when you have a completely public app, like a javascript application where it's entire source code lives in the browser and therefore the client_secret would be exposed.

It then recommends using PKCE. But in this case, isn't the code_verifier basically the password? It sends the initial code_challenge, the hashed value, in the original request...so this could be intercepted, it is even stated it's not a secret.

It then POSTS the code_verifier later with the auth_code from what I'm reading. So, how is this different than having a client_secret? If an app's source is published, won't the code_verifier be leaked as well? Or maybe it's generated at run time and that's the point...

If so, is the security of this flowed based on the fact that the password is basically randomly generated?

Is this for authenticating with the Reddit API? If so Reddit doesn't support PKCE. For untrusted clients you are not given a client secret. If not, then this isn't the subreddit to post this in.

r/redditdev on Reddit: Installed apps and protecting "client secret"

November 5, 2021 -

I am planning on building an installed app that uses reddit API. Let's assume a native android app.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the docs:

Your app won't be able to keep a client secret safe and secure. For example, Android, Windows or iOS apps that access the reddit API should choose this app type, as anyone who installs the app would be able to figure out your client secret.

For relevant requests, you should still send and use the client secret like normal. The reddit servers will simply not make the assumption that an installed app sending a secret has "proven" to be a request on behalf of that app.

I don't even understand what this paragraph means. What does it mean that reddit servers won't assume an installed app sending a secret has "proven" to be a request on behalf of that app? Should I send the secret or no?

From the sounds of it, it is awfully similar to Authorization Code Flow from spotify API. In that case does reddit not implement PKCE for preventing Authorization Code Interception Attack ? Spotify seems to do it.
