### OAuth2 configurable grant types
[OAuth2 providers](../../add-secure-apps/providers/oauth2/index.mdx#oauth-20-flows-and-grant-types) now have a **Grant Types** setting that lets admins explicitly choose which grant types a given provider may use. The available options are Authorization Code, Implicit, Hybrid, Refresh token, Client credentials, Password, and Device-code. Existing providers default to having all grant types enabled to preserve current behavior, but you can now disable any grant types you don't want a particular client to use — useful for tightening security on individual integrations and disabling legacy flows like Implicit or Password where they aren't needed.
