Description
Feature description
GitLab supports supports the OAuth 2.0 device authorization grant flow since GitLab 17.2: https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2024/07/18/gitlab-17-2-released/#oauth-20-device-authorization-grant-support
This project docs links that support for OAuth device authorization with GitLab issue 332682, which is now closed.
Could be device authorization for GitLab enabled now?
