Idea Summary
Add support for OAuth Refresh Token Flow

Use Case
In the scenario of a web/mobile application requiring secure access to user data, implementing the OAuth2 Refresh Token Flow offers significant advantages. This flow ensures robust security by utilizing long-lived refresh tokens, reducing the frequency of user logins and enhancing overall protection. Moreover, it optimizes user experience by minimizing interruptions, as users don't need to frequently re-authenticate. Additionally, the flow improves scalability by decreasing the need for frequent token regeneration, thus enhancing the application's ability to handle increased loads efficiently. Overall, OAuth2 Refresh Token Flow strikes a balance between security, usability, and scalability, providing a seamless and secure solution for accessing user data in web applications.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Apex handling the refresh token automatically.

This is planned for a future APEX release.
