Only implicit flow is available for oidc login. Hybrid flow is believed as more secure

    Thank you for submitting this idea! Before I evaluate it further, I want to mention that Liberty uses the authorization code flow by default, which is more secure than either the implicit or hybrid flow. Is it possible for you to use our existing support for the authorization code flow to achieve the most security?
