Check out the work done on the IndieAuth plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/indiea… It also works as authentication for the REST API. IndieAuth has the benefit of not needing to pre-register clients, so it is actually useful in a distributed setting like how WordPress works.

Absolutely. I was more implying that someone should take this plugin and move it into core as a quick way to get OAuth into WordPress, since the work is already done.

We're about to expand on our custom auth WP API auth too. I don't have time to build and maintain a composer package with a complete oAuth2 for WP API, but I'd contribute to it.

Sounds like we have the foundational elements for a collaboration, maybe even a feature plugin.

As I said, would love to have collaborators on the OAuth 2 plugin or on the centraliser system. :)

Link? (On the road, but want to put a pin in this)

Alright, I finished my post explaining the details of this! Have a look ➡️ aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/…

Wow, really interesting. Is this plugin on Github? wordpress.org/plugins/indiea…
