And it can also be used by yourself, to debug, check and test the same application.

## The `password` flow

Now let's go back a bit and understand what is all that.

The `password` "flow" is one of the ways ("flows") defined in OAuth2, to handle security and authentication.

OAuth2 was designed so that the backend or API could be independent of the server that authenticates the user.

    email = user_dict["email"],
    full_name = user_dict["full_name"],
    hashed_password = hashed_password,
)
```

!!! warning
    The supporting additional functions are just to demo a possible flow of the data, but they of course are not providing any real security.

## Reduce duplication

Reducing code duplication is one of the core ideas in **FastAPI**.

    ```Python hl_lines="7"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_forms/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

For example, in one of the ways the OAuth2 specification can be used (called "password flow") it is required to send a `username` and `password` as form fields.

The <abbr title="specification">spec</abbr> requires the fields to be exactly named `username` and `password`, and to be sent as form fields, not JSON.

    ```Python hl_lines="7"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_forms/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

Zum Beispiel stellt eine der Möglichkeiten, die OAuth2 Spezifikation zu verwenden (genannt <abbr title='„Passwort-Fluss“'>„password flow“</abbr>), die Bedingung, einen `username` und ein `password` als Formularfelder zu senden.
