Why are Third-Party Cookies/Cross-Site Scripting required by Qwickly Attendance?

Qwickly Attendance integrates with your LMS by using API Tokens. API Tokens are generated by Qwickly Attendance on behalf of the logged-in user to request data from the LMS. In order to generate API tokens, Qwickly Attendance uses the 3-Legged Oauth authorization workflow. This workflow consists of the following steps:

• When Qwickly Attendance is launched, Qwickly Attendance redirects the user's request back to the LMS.
• The LMS verifies the logged user's identity, and redirects the request back to Qwickly Attendance with an authorization code.
• Qwickly Attendance uses this authorization code to generate the API token.

If a device has Third-Party Cookies disabled or Cross-Site Scripting is prevented (which also blocks cookies from being set), the user's session data is lost in redirecting for the authentication process, which is why an error is displayed to users.
