Summary
This post discusses the implementation of Auth0's Device Authorization Flow for a Rust command-line interface (CLI) that lacks a browser for redirecting. It guides developers on how to build a Rust CLI that uses device flow for authentication and how to validate the resulting JSON Web Token (JWT) within a protected Axum API route.
