    My mistake i was trying to make the authentication with OAuth 1 and it needs to be with OAuth 2, thanks. https://docs.brainstormforce.com/how-to-get-mautic-api-credentials/

    Hi,

    From what I’ve heard OAuth 2 will stop working after X days (depending on your settings), were as OAuth 1 works forever.

    I changed the Access token lifetime (in minutes) to 0 and Refresh token lifetime (in days) to 0 in the mautic API settings, I then registered a WP account (after waiting over 2 minutes) and it synced the WP user to Mautic.

    1.) With the OAuth 2 settings set to 0, Do you know if the OAuth 2 API will last forever?

    Reason I ask is that I don’t want to have to worry about the WP user and Mautic sync API to stop working in the future.

    Cheers ??

    @jono OAuth 2 API will not last forever.
    Many providers support bearer tokens which are very weak security-wise. By making them short-lived and requiring refresh, they limit the time an attacker can abuse a stolen.

    Thanks Rahul,

    I’m not worried about attackers, just want to set and forget get without needing to keep re-adding the API

    1.) Do you know there are any plans to make it work with OAuth 1 API in the future? 2.) if not is there is any other way to simply get it to work forever?

    I’d be nice to at least have the option.

    Cheers mate
