Description

OAuth 1.0a is deprecated, and programs which use it to authenticate requests to OpenStreetMap should move to OAuth 2.0. A date has not yet been set for turning off OAuth 1.0a and HTTP Basic.

It's best to move to OAuth 2.0 well in advance of any turn-off, because users may take some time to upgrade software and to re-authenticate.

See https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/867 for details.
