Password Grant

Description

The OAuth 2.0 Password Grant, also known as the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) grant, is a type of authorization grant in OAuth 2.0 that allows an application to obtain an access token by directly using the resource owner's credentials (i.e., username and password). This grant type is primarily used in scenarios where the application is highly trusted by the user, such as first-party applications, and the user can provide their credentials directly to the application.
