    7474OAuth has two major advantages over basic authentication:
    7575  1. Your OSM password doesn't have to be saved in clear text in the JOSM preferences file.
    76   2. Your OSM password has to be transferred '''only once''' over the Internet, in contrast to basic authentication where your OSM password is trasferred as part of every request sent from JOSM to the OSM server.

    86 For advanced users, OAuth has addional advantages:
    87   * With OAuth you can generate restricted Access Tokens which you given somebody else such that another mapper can act on your behalf. For instance, a mapper could generate an Access Token which grants somebody else the right to download its private GPS traces. Even if he gives this Access Token to somebody else, his OSM password is kept private. In addition, he can revoke the special Access Token at any time. JOSM supports this kind of advanced configuration in the [wiki:/Help/Dialog/OAuthAuthorisationWizard OAuth Autorisation Wizard] with the authorisation procedure '''Manual authorization'''.

    103 Unselect the checkbox '''Save to preferences''' if you don't want to save the Access Token in the JOSM preferences. If you don't save it the Access Token will be lost when you close JOSM. If you later startup JOSM again you will have to retrieve a new Access Token to work with OAuth based authentication again.
