The access_token is returned directly in redirect_uri, without an extra authorization code exchange step.
Now not recommended for use. https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics-12.html#rfc.section.3.1.2
An URI must not contain any session data such as access_token.
It could be leaked with logs, browser history etc...

Never use implicit flow, use authorization_code flow instead. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-1.3.1
