    32 In OAuth terminology, a JOSM user authorises JOSM to access the OSM server on his behalf. During the authorisation process he never has to enter his OSM password into a JOSM dialog if he or she doesn't fully trust JOSM (unless he wants to for convenience reasons [wiki:/Help/Dialog/OAuthAuthorisationWizard#FullyAutomaticAuthorisation see here]). Rather, the OSM server issues an Access Token which JOSM presents to the OSM server when it uploads data on behalf of the user. Access Tokens don't reveal the users password and they can be revoked at any time.
