Update an existing authorization

If you have two-factor authentication setup, Basic Authentication for this endpoint requires that you use a one-time password (OTP) and your username and password instead of tokens. For more information, see "Working with two-factor authentication."

PATCH /authorizations/:authorization_id

Parameters

`scopes`	`array`	Replaces the authorization scopes with these.
`add_scopes`	`array`	A list of scopes to add to this authorization.
`remove_scopes`	`array`	A list of scopes to remove from this authorization.

`note_url`	`string`	A URL to remind you what app the OAuth token is for.
`fingerprint`	`string`	A unique string to distinguish an authorization from others created for the same client ID and user.
