Generate oauth token programatically?
Hello
Is it possible to generate an OAuth access token programmatically (as it's generated with the username-password flow) for a user that performs certain action from a visualforce page?
Where are these tokens stored?
I need to send this token to an external service to perform an API call.
I'm trying to avoid making the user type his username/password again.

Use the username-password flow to get the token. Using then user don't need to verify again on screen. But this will be the same for all users and also you might need a dummy user for this.
Second, you can use the JWT token to authenticate the user and run the flow. I prefer this over the other.
