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.

How do I hide the client id and client secret?

DevTools? Are you sure that you are using NodeJS and not writing code for the browser instead?

In the browser, you can't hide secrets, because a) the code is run in the browser, so the browser needs to know all the data, and b) even if you could magically hide the secret in the code, the browser still needs to send the info in the actual request (which you can see in the Network tab of the DevTools).

That's why any secret needs to be handled server-side, not client-side.

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

Hey guys!

I've been trying to get a client ID and Secret for a project with PRAW, but the provided link (https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) doesn't work. Someone experiencing this? Is this link up-to-date or broken?

I can only access a page that says: "Welcome back! You are already logged in and will be redirected back to Reddit shortly. If you are not redirected automatically, follow this link."

Clicking on "this link" does nothing.

Any help appreciated. Thank you :D

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.

Yes you can authorize users. Here is the documentation: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/OAuth2

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.
