I'm thinking on implementing login via App so I avoid using a webview, for user experience purposes.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/authentication-create-session-from-login
Seeing the examples, i should send as a body the user id and password
{
"username": "",
"password": "",
"request_token": ""
}
Is it secure to send sensitive data such as password as a string? Is there a consideration to take regarding that info?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi @lautaro-kernel, if you use HTTPS as suggested in the documentation, then the body will be encrypted, so it should be no less secure than any other login that uses https.
As far as other considerations, within the app don't send or store the password unencrypted, kind of as simple as that.
