      description: 'Splitwise uses OAuth 2 with the authorization code flow. To connect via OAuth 2, you''ll need to [register your app](https://secure.splitwise.com/apps). When you register, you''ll be given a key and secret.


        **Note**: OAuth can be a very confusing protocol to implement correctly, and we **strongly** recommend

        that you use an existing OAuth library to connect to Splitwise. You can find a list of OAuth client libraries at the

        If your key becomes compromised or you want to invalidate your existing key for any other reason, you can do so on the app details page by generating a new key.'
