I have several automated scripts that currently use JWT to authenticate. I’m told that JWT will be deprecated and that I’ll have to start using OAuth. In searching for other articles on using OAuth it’s stated that OAuth cannot be used except by prompting the user. Since that can’t be done in an automated script it’s also stated to use JWT. If JWT will no longer be allowed then what’s the recommended method of authenticating from an automated script? Are there some examples of how exactly this is accomplished? ---
