| | 88 | You can also retrieve an Access Token semi-automatically. If you use this process you have to use both dialogs in JOSM and the OSM website launched in an external browser to create and authorise the Access Token. In contrast to the fully automatic process you never have to enter your OSM username or your OSM password into a JOSM dialog. This process is therefore suitable for user which - for whatever reason - never want to use their OSM password outside of the OSM website. Note however, that the semi-automatic process is '''not''' significantely more secure than the fully automatic process. Your OSM password will be transferred in cleartext over the Internet, too, because the OSM website currently doesn't provide a login page protected by HTTPS. The fully automatic process runs exactly the same steps you run manually in the semi-automatic process, just without your intervention. |
