# REST API – bearer token

 * Should an APP password be used or a normal WordPress user password when generating
   the access token using **get_access_token**?
 * Documentation: [https://theeventprime.com/eventprime-api-documentation/](https://theeventprime.com/eventprime-api-documentation/)
 * says “your_password”
 * However within the site API settings page, the example for **get_access_token**
   says
 * `POST /wp-json/eventprime/v1/integration?action=get_access_token {"username":"
   api-user","password":"app-password"}`
 * Thankyou

 * Hi [@2020media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2020media/),
 * Thank you for reporting this inconsistency.
 * To generate an access token, you should use the Application Password rather than
   the WordPress user’s login password.
    We will revise the documentation to make
   this distinction clearer.
 * If there’s anything else we can help with, please let us know.
