A couple of comments on this profile.

1) Error URL

I noticed that there was wide consensus that returning a
captcha-specific error was not going to be useful.  That matches our
experience with ClientLogin [1] - very few developers properly handle
captcha.  And if a developer is sophisticated enough to handle
Captchas, I would rather they just used a web browser in the first
place.

However, lots of developers do tell users to visit the URL we return
in our error response.  This is often sufficient to resolve whatever
problems are happening with the user’s account.  So I’d like to see an
optional “url” parameter returned with the “invalid_credentials” error
code.  Clients should instruct the user to visit that URL.

2) Is anyone actually going to implement this flow and not return a
refresh token?

Cheers,
Brian
