Connect applications to your WordPress site without ever giving away your password.

Description

This plugin uses the OAuth 1.0a protocol to allow delegated authorization; that is, to allow applications to access a site using a set of secondary credentials.

This plugin only supports WordPress >= 4.4.

The latest stable version is also available from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
