    87 OAuth 2.0 uses [wikitr:RemoteControl Remote Control] to receive the token from the OAuth server. If you have issues authenticating, you can disable remote control in other running instances of JOSM and disable ''then'' re-enable it in the JOSM instance you are trying to authenticate.
     86OAuth 2.0 uses [wikitr:RemoteControl Remote Control] to receive the token from the OAuth server. If Remote Control is disabled in preferences (default setting) it is temporally enabled to receive the token and then disabled again.
     87**Note**: If you have issues authenticating, you can disable remote control in other running instances of JOSM and disable ''then'' re-enable it in the JOSM instance you are trying to authenticate.
