## Concept
In this method, Infisical authenticates an identity by verifying the credentials issued for it at the `/api/v1/auth/universal-auth/login` endpoint. If successful,
In this method, Infisical authenticates a client by verifying the credentials issued for it at the `/api/v1/auth/universal-auth/login` endpoint. If successful,
then Infisical returns a short-lived access token that can be used to make authenticated requests to the Infisical API.
In Universal Auth, an identity is given a **Client ID** and one or more **Client Secret(s)**. Together, a **Client ID** and **Client Secret** can be exchanged for a short-lived access token to authenticate with the Infisical API.
To be more specific:
1. The client submits a **Client ID** and **Client Secret** to Infisical.
2. Infisical verifies the credential pair.
3. If all is well, Infisical returns a short-lived access token that the client can use to make authenticated requests to the Infisical API.
