Are you planning to support OAuth?
OAuth is a crucial new tool for protecting user privacy, allowing us to use your service without compromising our account passwords. Can you discuss your plans to support OAuth for any services, like Twitter, that offer it as an alternative to handing over our passwords?
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?We do use OAuth on almost all the sites we work with that support it. We added Twitter before they had OAuth so that is why we ask for un/pw. Now that they have it, we will try to make that change soon on our end. The problem is we have hundreds of thousands of users that will have to switch over, so it will not be as easy as flipping a switch. I believe Twitter is the only one in that state right now.

Inappropriate?So you have to use one or the other? You can't offer both during some kind of transitional period? What about presenting a warning when un/pw users log in that "Hiya, in a month we're turning off un/pw support and switching 100% to OAuth. Please go through the OAuth process now so you're ahead of the curve!" -
Inappropriate?Can I jump on this bandwagon? I don't like giving desktop/iPhone Twitter clients my password anymore and I won't use a website or other service that doesn't use OAuth, please add this soon! David Chartier has some good ideas there!
I’m confident

Inappropriate?i think OAuth is great idea. giving out un/pw is quite risky and time wasting in a way!
