Twitter has completed its move to OAuth for authentication for all third-party applications.OAuth allows people to use applications without them storing their passwords. In the past, Twitter officials explained in a blog post, developers have been able to choose between basic authentication and OAuth to enable Twitter applications to access user accounts. Both methods require the user’s permission; but with basic authentication, users must provide their password and username for the application to access Twitter and the program has to store and send the data over the Internet each time the application is used.“With OAuth, you still individually approve each application before using it, and you can revoke access at any time,” according to Twitter. “To see which applications you have authorized or to revoke access, just go to the Connections section under Settings.”
