Implement OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for secure authentication.
| Flow | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Authorization Code | Web apps (most secure) |
| Authorization Code + PKCE | SPAs, mobile apps |
| Client Credentials | Service-to-service |
| Refresh Token | Session renewal |
const express = require('express');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
// Step 1: Redirect to authorization
app.get('/auth/login', (req, res) => {

scope: 'openid profile email',
