Authentication plugins for REST API

[fabienlege]

I've read this doc for REST API authentication.

At the last chapter ( Authentication Plugins ), the doc suggest some plugins to extends authentication methods. But all the suggested plugins are outdated and not tested with recent versions of Wordpress...

Can you provide updated suggestions for Authenticating users with other methods than only cookies ?

Came here to post something similar - now that Application Passwords are in core- this should be more clearly covered in the documentation. Would it make sense to open a PR integrating some of the language from the announcement post into a new section on this page?
