You must explicitly request the refresh_token scope to get a refresh token. id Allows access to the identity URL service. You can request profile, email, address, or phone, individually to get the same result as using id; they are all synonymous. openid Allows access to the current, logged in user’s unique identifier for OpenID Connect apps.

Use the openid scope in the OAuth 2.0 user-agent flow and the OAuth 2.0 web server authentication flow to receive a signed ID token conforming to the OpenID Connect specifications in addition to the access token.
