Why do you need my twitter password? My connections are public and so are my updates so why the password?

(edited to tone it down... i'm not _that_ mad.)

If you want the password to be some sort of claiming, why not ask the users to direct message your user through twitter with some Hash key you guys give each user? Private and efficient. No need to ask for passwords.
