Simple OAuth Password Grant

Security covered Under active development 2,127 sites

This module adds back the "password grant" type for the Simple OAuth module. It allows applications to request an access token by sending user credentials directly, which can be useful for decoupled Drupal setups where the frontend is trusted.

This module re-implements the PasswordGrant for the Simple OAuth module.

This module only works with The Simple OAuth module version 6.0.x or greater!

Usage

To use this module, simply enable the Password grant type in your OAuth2 Consumer.

You can then obtain an access token by requesting it with the following payload:

{
  "grant_type": "password",
  "client_id": "__your-client-id__",
  "client_secret": "__your-client-secret__",
  "username": "drupal_username_or_email",
  "password": "drupal_password"
}

Important
The username can either be the Drupal username, or the Drupal user's email address!

Security Concerns

The PasswordGrant was part of the Simple OAuth module in Version 5 but got removed in Version 6 because the OAuth2 best current practices removed the PasswordGrant.

However, when using Drupal in a decoupled scenario as a pure backend, you can trust your frontend application.
For best user experience, the user must be able to input their login credentials on the Drupal frontend (which is decoupled), so the PasswordGrant makes sense here.
