Note that credentials created with our [WordPress.com applications manager][5] allow login only and not signup. New
accounts must be created using the [official app][1] or [on the web](https://wordpress.com/start). Login is restricted
to the WordPress.com account with which the credentials were created. Also, you will be able to interact with sites of
that same WordPress.com account only. In other words, if the credentials were created with [email protected], you will only
be able to login with [email protected] and access [email protected] sites. Using another account like [email protected] will cause
to the WordPress.com account with which the credentials were created. In other words, if the credentials were created with [email protected], you will only
be able to login with [email protected]. Using another account like [email protected] will cause
the `Client cannot use "password" grant_type` error.

For security reasons, some account-related actions aren't supported for development builds when using a WordPress.com account with 2-factor authentication enabled.
There is also currently an [issue](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/8754) where a restart of the app is required to complete login in this case.

Read more about [OAuth2][6] and the [WordPress.com REST endpoint][7].
