Resource Owner Password Credentials

Client collected the user's password and POSTed directly to the token endpoint. The user's password is in your app, defeats the point of OAuth2 delegation.

Spec: RFC 6749 §4.3 (deprecated)

Supported in Olympus: No (deprecated; do not use)

When to use

Never. Removed in OAuth 2.1. Use Authorization Code instead.

How it works

Client collected the user's password and POSTed directly to the token endpoint. The user's password is in your app, defeats the point of OAuth2 delegation.

Why not

This grant is deprecated and removed in OAuth 2.1. Olympus rejects it. The replacement is Authorization Code + PKCE.
