<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">This won't work for some apps. An app may open <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth2/authorize" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth2/authorize</a> in a specific browser window and expect redirect back to itself in that window</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The link in the email would (...) drive the user to the same authorization link: /oauth2/authorize?.... If the invoking application is still up and the timeout set by the invoking app has not been reached, the authorization would complete successfully.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">It won't if the app expects the redirect in another window, even if the browser is the same (and in general it's not the same).</p>
