Right, that's for frontend user auth. I mean if I wanted to use the REST API to request a token for the user, for instance, can I authenticate to the REST API with anything other than username/password?

For the REST API to get a token, you could also use the instance secret key.
What about other REST API calls?
Well, its 2 step. You get the token using secret key and then you use the token for all other APIs
So the token generated from /api/rest/2.0/auth/token/full (using the trusted token from the security settings, not username and password) can be used in subsequent API calls?
The main ask is is it possible to do all REST API communication without a username/password. Getting Orgs, metadatas, user info, group info, etc.
Yes correct, pass the token in the
Authorization header as a Bearer token. For eg:

REST v2 APIs support basic and token-based authentication methods.
Awesome! Thanks!
