When the partner supports OAuth, use the platform `OAuth2` codeunit (`AcquireTokenWithClientCredentials` for service-to-service, `AcquireAuthorizationCodeTokenFromCache` for user-delegated flows) rather than hand-rolled token acquisition. Carry tokens and client secrets as `SecretText`, persist them only in IsolatedStorage, and refresh tokens proactively — on a buffer before the documented expiry — so routine calls never block on a token refresh.

## Anti Pattern
Accepting an API-key or basic-auth integration because it is the first option documented, even when the partner supports OAuth. The shared secret usually ends up in a setup-table `Text` field, rotation becomes a manual operation that rarely happens, and a single disclosure exposes every tenant using the extension.
