Hi Steve,

Thanks for your question. OAuth was unstable when we launched and Twitter turned it off for a while because of a security flaw. We have not updated our code since we are currently building out features. That being said, your password is secure on Tinker.com.

Thanks!

Honestly, absence of oAuth is a show stopper for me. I don't feel comfortable providing anyone with my username/password.

I’m sad

I agree with Riki. OAuth implementation will make me feel much, much more secured.
