04:42 conclusion
The OAuth Password Grant expects the client application to ask for a userās username and password
and then exchanges this for an access token.
The OAuth working group does not recommend to use this flow anymore and recommends to always use the Authorization code grant with PKCE instead.
The reason is that the userās credentials have now one more place where they could leak and in general people tend to trust the authorization more than some third party application which they cannot control.
