Only allows one callback URL per Client ID / Client Secret.

tip

This Provider template only has a one hour access token to it and only has the "identity" scope. If you want to get a refresh token as well you must follow this:

providers: [
  RedditProvider({
    clientId: process.env.REDDIT_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
    authorization: {
      params: {
        duration: 'permanent',
      },
    },
  }),
]
