Please add support for OAuth
Like Flickr, there's really no reason why you should be asking for usernames and passwords in your app, or in your API.
Please consider using OAuth instead:
http://oauth.net

Inappropriate?We've definitely been considering using OAuth. For us it came down to ease of development to get these apps into a beta stage (as well as our API).
We fully expect to implement a more robust user authentication system, but for now HTTP Basic Auth does the job. -
Yeah, it does the job, it's just not great from a web service design perspective. Ok, well keep me posted on this!
