Comment:

 Thank you for the feature request, @crosescu!

 These endpoints are currently under development on WordPress.com, and will
 only be available for use by specific apps (hence `client_id` and
 `client_secret` being included in each request).

 That said, these endpoints are different to what will likely end up in
 WordPress Core, as they contain a significant amount of WordPress.com
 specific code. There's been [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/23
 /rest-api-authentication/ some discussion] on what a Core solution would
 look like, the `#core-passwords` channel in
 [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/ WordPress Slack] would be the best place
 to see where discussions are currently at.
