Database systems and methods are provided for authorizing access to a protected resource. One method involves an authorization service automatically assigning a unique alias to a web application and thereafter receiving a request for access to a protected resource on behalf of a user of the web application. In response to the request, the authorization service generates a graphical user interface (GUI) display including a graphical representation of the unique alias automatically assigned to the web application at a client device associated with the user, and thereafter in response to user selection of a GUI element of the GUI display to authorize access, the authorization service obtains an access token associated with the user and the protected resource and transmits the access token to the web application.
