We all have our client_secrets.

"We all have our secrets."
In the engineering world we all have our client_secrets.

They sit quietly behind every login, every API call and every "it just works" moment. We rarely talk about them until something breaks.

A leaked string is a debt not paid yet. A weak token is an open invitation.

Hardcoding is a habit that leads to regret. A rotation strategy is what keeps the system stable.

True security is a baseline requirement not a luxury. "We all have our CLIENT secrets." The real challenge is making sure they stay that way.

What is one best practice you never compromise on when handling tokens?
