For security reasons you have to use 3-legged OAuth flow with authorization_code grant type in web applications. See  https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/basics/oauth#authorization-code-flow

If you move on with the current app, see this quick start for a demo  https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/authentication/quick-start/authorization-flow/php

Otherwise, if you want to use the password flow authentication, create a new app and select the Server-only (No UI) for the Platform Type. See this demo  https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/voice/quick-start/php

If you're using an OAuth 2.0 request using the OAuth 2.0 password grant (grant_type=password), then your application you created should in the RingCentral Developer Portal should be Password flow .

Please note, application created with different platform type will have different grant_type.

For example, application created for platform type = browser based will have grant_type=Authorization Code | Implicit | Refresh Access Token where as application for platform type = Desktop/Windows will have grant_type= Authorization Code | Password flow |Refresh Access Token

So in order to use (grant_type=password) you need to have application created with platform type that support Password flow
