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.

But in this case, the same **FastAPI** application will handle the API and the authentication.

So, let's review it from that simplified point of view:

    }

    @Override
    public Header authenticate(final Credentials credentials, final HttpRequest request) throws AuthenticationException {
        return null;
    }

    /**
     * Authenticates using the form scheme.
     * @param credentials The credentials.
     * @param executor The executor for HTTP requests.
     */
    public void authenticate(final Credentials credentials,

     *
     * @param transport
     *            The SMB transport containing server encryption key
     * @param auth
     *            The NTLM password authenticator containing user credentials
     * @throws SmbException
     *             If there is an error setting up the signing digest
     */
