Verifier length (43-128)

Code verifier

Code challenge (S256)

Flow

Generate random verifier using RFC-safe character set.
Hash verifier with SHA-256.
Encode hash output using Base64URL for challenge.

Example

Worked example: generate S256 pair

1 Set verifier length to 64.
2 Generate pair to get verifier and challenge.
3 Send challenge in authorize request and verifier in token request.

Generated pair is compatible with S256 PKCE validation flow.

How

Set verifier length between 43 and 128.
Generate verifier and challenge pair.
Use verifier in token exchange and challenge in auth request.

Cases

Test OAuth authorization code + PKCE integrations.
Debug mismatched code challenge errors in identity providers.
Prepare sample PKCE values for API documentation.

Avoid

Using verifier lengths outside 43-128 characters.
Applying plain method when provider expects S256.
Modifying verifier characters after challenge generation.
