Answer 1

Just in case it may be useful for somebody, I was facing the same problem with Postman. I was asked to include a CSRF on every request after getting a token for the first time so I realized that I had Session and Token authentication methods enabled so I commented out the SessionAuthentication line (of course, you could remove it as well)

'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
    'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    # 'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
]

After that, I was able to request a token by using only my credentials without including any CSRF code:

I think that the fact of having those two auth classes activated was causing Django to muddle up somehow.
