Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives

I have been creating APIs with complex requirements for several years (Machine Learning, distributed systems, asynchronous jobs, NoSQL databases, etc), leading several teams of developers.

        .isNotEqualTo(fingerprint(stringB.getBytes(UTF_8)));

    // ISO 8859-1 only has 0-255 (ubyte) representation so throws away UTF-8 characters
    // greater than 127 (ie with their top bit set).
    // Don't attempt to do this in real code.
    assertEquals(
        fingerprint(stringA.getBytes(ISO_8859_1)), fingerprint(stringB.getBytes(ISO_8859_1)));
  }

  public void testPutNonChars() {

   * Evaluates whether the argument is an ISATAP address.
   *
   * <p>From RFC 5214: "ISATAP interface identifiers are constructed in Modified EUI-64 format [...]
   * by concatenating the 24-bit IANA OUI (00-00-5E), the 8-bit hexadecimal value 0xFE, and a 32-bit
   * IPv4 address in network byte order [...]"
   *
   * <p>For more on ISATAP addresses see section 6.1 of <a target="_parent"

- All aggregation, conditional, type-conversion and string functions are supported.
- JSON path expressions such as `FROM S3Object[*].path` are not yet evaluated.
- Large numbers (outside of the signed 64-bit range) are not yet supported.

### Server-Side Encryption with client-provided Keys

        .isNotEqualTo(fingerprint(stringB.getBytes(UTF_8)));

    // ISO 8859-1 only has 0-255 (ubyte) representation so throws away UTF-8 characters
    // greater than 127 (ie with their top bit set).
    // Don't attempt to do this in real code.
    assertEquals(
        fingerprint(stringA.getBytes(ISO_8859_1)), fingerprint(stringB.getBytes(ISO_8859_1)));
  }

  public void testPutNonChars() {

			// effectively discarded. In these cases, the offset determines
			// the CR bit.
			prog.Reg = a[1].Reg
			if a[1].Type != obj.TYPE_REG {
				// The CR bit is represented as a constant 0-31. Convert it to a Reg.
				c := p.getConstant(prog, op, &a[1])
				reg, success := ppc64.ConstantToCRbit(c)
				if !success {
					p.errorf("invalid CR bit register number %d", c)
				}
				prog.Reg = reg
			}
			break
		}

		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "reading input:", err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%d\n", count)
	// Output: 15
}

// Use a Scanner with a custom split function (built by wrapping ScanWords) to validate
// 32-bit decimal input.
func ExampleScanner_custom() {
	// An artificial input source.
	const input = "1234 5678 1234567901234567890"
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))

                }

                if ( !msg2.getFlag(NtlmFlags.NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_128) ) {
                    throw new SmbUnsupportedOperationException("Server does not support 128-bit keys");
                }
            }

            this.ntlmsspFlags &= msg2.getFlags();
            Type3Message msg3 = createType3Message(msg2);
            msg3.setupMIC(this.type1Bytes, token);

It can be used by third party applications and systems.

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.
