Implement OAuth for Connections Import
Please stop using the "password anti-pattern" to import my contacts. I won't ever trust you enough to use the feature. Instead, please use OAuth.
Your developers know all about OAuth, its time to leverage technology to a more secure and interoperable Internet.

Its been about 7-months. Any update on adding support for OAuth instead of using the password anti-pattern for contact import (aka the phishing victim training program). -
Inappropriate?There is a standard API for using OAuth for getting contacts, it's called PoCo, or Portable Contacts. LinkedIn should be able to read PoCo from Google, Facebook, etc. And also be a PoCo provider, so that other sites can safely read my Facebook address book
