OAuth PKCE verifier & S256 challenge
Generate a cryptographically random PKCE verifier and S256 challenge locally. Inspect the RFC 7636 example without performing an OAuth exchange.
Generate a fresh 256-bit random verifier and its S256 challenge. Verifiers contain 43–128 permitted ASCII characters. Challenge = base64url(SHA-256(verifier)), without padding. Keep each verifier private and use it for one authorization attempt; the challenge is sent with code_challenge_method=S256.
The prefilled verifier is a public test example, not a secret for actual authentication. Formula and example: RFC 7636, Appendix B. No authorization request or token exchange is performed.
Generation and hashing are local. Verifiers are not stored automatically or added to URLs. Downloaded files contain the verifier; keep them private.
