We offer two ways to acquire an access token: browser-based OAuth authentication, and self-issued access tokens. We recommend using self-issued access tokens. Browser-based authentication is supported for existing integrations only. Self-issued access tokens (described in user-facing copy as integration tokens) are explicitly designed for desktop integrations where implementing browser-based authentication is non-trivial, or software like plugins where it is impossible to secure a client secret.
