zzr31 (zzr31) asked a question.
I've followed the guide for Device Authorization Grant here https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/device-authorization-grant/main/ but was wondering if it was possible/made sense to also use PKCE for these requests? It doesn't seem like the `code_challenge` is accepted when making the initial request at `/device/authorize`

Hello @zzr31 (zzr31) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
Please see below the required documentation to achieve this:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/implement-grant-type/authcodepkce/main/#about-the-authorization-code-grant-with-pkce
My advice would be to leverage the Okta Developer forums for this type of questions and take advantage of their expertise.

Hi @paul.stiniguta1.508386743840768E12 (Okta, Inc.) thanks for your response. I had taken a look at that previously but it doesn't seem to apply in this case. It is a command line app similar to https://developer.okta.com/blog/2021/08/20/cli-ssh-oauth-device-grant so it doesn't have a browser to receive the redirect and complete the authorization code flow. So my question is whether or not it will be possible to use PKCE with the device grant - it doesn't seem to accept the code_challenge at /device/authorize so the code_verifier can't be checked when it comes time to exchange the device code for a token. Thanks
