Hello @seanernest.regala,

From the application perspective, there is no difference. They both get sent as the part of authentication process.

JSON Web tokens are a standard technology and a user is responsible for generating/signing/managing the tokens and providing it to LSEG through PAA. It is more involved process compared to using a client secret, but larger accounts might have a mechanisms in place to automate the whole process.
