I used to be able to use OAuth from JOSM. But a few months ago, authorisation was not possible anymore. Basic authentication still works fine. I was expecting this to be a temporary problem, but I still can't use OAuth. The error message I am getting is: I don't know how semi-automatic and manual authorisation work, but I would prefer to use OAuth over basic authorisation since that sends passwords unencrypted. |

You need to login to www.openstreetmap.org, click on your username, "my settings", "oauth settings" and check if JOSM is listed under "My Authorised Applications". If it isn't, you should try semi-automatic (don't worry, JOSM will guide you where you need to copy/paste what). Seems like the automated process doesn't even work if JOSM is listed there (for generating a new token). But semi-automatic works.

JOSM is listed there seven times. The latest date is 4 months ago. Is this normal?

@pbb: only one entry is needed, except if you use different JOSM installations for which you created different Oauth authorisations. Each of those authorisations is like a different but working key to your account. I guess you only use the newest authorisations, so you can delete the previous ones.

Thanks, using semi-automatic authorization did the job! FWIW, I am using JOSM on serveral different machines, so that might explain the various authorizations.

[Fixed] In case someone face the same error: I've faced the same error, OAuth failed, either Fully automated, Semi Automated or Fully Manual, All failed. I was able to do everything in browser but couldn't comment or upload changeset. But I was able to do everything from mobile. So, I was confirmed that, problem was in my pc. And then today Imagery wasn't loading in JOSM. So I searched in browser for the solution and it says my clock is behind with red warning page. And immediately I assumed this is the reason for all those OAuth error. So I fixed the time (which was 1 year behind), and that fixed everything. |

In my case I had problems with the authentication using the Vespucci app in my Android phone and it was resolved by uninstalling and installing the app. So there may be more than one solution to the problem. |
