> Visit authorization link in browser. This page is an HTML page which loads the auth flow which you would normally see first when logging into the app. Follow through the flow by logging in with an account. I currently have no idea how this URL is generated. I recommend signing out of the Switch app, then sign back in and open the sign flow link in Safari. You can then open it on your computer and follow from there.
I was surprised when I read this paragraph because the owner of the repository is a Full Stack Web Developer at Square. One would expect a web developer at such an important company to know what OAuth is [1]… but then I saw the last time the README file was updated was over 3 years ago on Jul 30, 2017. He joined Square on October 2018 hopefully knowing what OAuth is but forgot to update the repository.

- henriquez 6y agoOAuth is not even a real standard at this point, at best it’s a concept. Practically every company is using a different implementation; so even if we assume that Nintendo is using “OAuth,” it’s not safe to assume anything about their implementation of it.
