I am working on chrome extension where I am using the token flow for user authorization and obtaining the access token. When the user logs in first time it works normally, asks for login credentials and all, once the user logs out a call is sent to disable_access_token to disable the access token which returns sucessfully with an empty json dictionary. Now when a user again clicks on the login button the app logs in without even asking for login credentials, why is it so.
Ok I figured it out, basically the access_token is disabled but the user is not unlinked from the app(as checked in app console on Dropbox) which means the user is simply not logged out of the app, merely the access_token is disabled, so how to ensure that the user gets unlinked as well ?
