To integrate apps that run on devices with limited input or display capabilities, such
as smart TVs, appliances, and other internet of things (IoT) devices, configure the Global OAuth
Settings to include a device code, and enable the OAuth 2.0 device flow. Command-line apps can
use this flow as well. Users can connect these apps to Salesforce by accessing a browser on a
device with more advanced input capabilities, such as a desktop or mobile device.
