Thanks for your reply! This change would affect only S3QL 2.x. So the
bigger disruption for you would probably be the upgrade of S3QL, not the
change of the authentication method. As a matter of fact, you can use
the legacy and OAuth2 API at the same time, so I think the transition
should be very smooth.

No, there probably would not be a change of the tag. You can already use
OAuth2 authentification with S3QL at the moment if you specify "oauth2"
as the login and your refresh token as the password. The change would
(probably) be that S3QL just aborts if you specify anything but 'oauth2'
as the login.


Best,
Nikolaus
