    Hi, I’m trying to understand how the OAuth authentication works.

    Basically, I’m developing an Android application, which will get data from my WP site. I need to authenticate the user, so I can also update/delete items on my site via the API and check his privileges. So far I installed the OAuth plugin and created one app.

    What I don’t understand is – do I have to create an application for each registered user? How will I link OAuth and user credentials? I don’t see passing of username/password during the OAuth flow…

    Lost here, any advice welcome.
