Just a quick update today.
It has come to our attention that some sites are claiming to have OAUTH security without actually having it.
We thought we’d go over it…
How Do I know if the Tool I bought uses OAuth?
Tools which don’t use Oauth require you to input your Twitter username and password directly into the tool, which they then store (doesn’t sound very secure does it? Giving away your private details to someone else) – Tools which use Oauth, require you to ’sign in with twitter’ which opens up a secure connection to twitter. OAuth secure web tools allow you to sign in and connect the tool. Desktop applications require you to sign in a obtain a pin, which you enter into the tool, so you never give away your password. Here is what it looks like:
You can test if your existing tool is using OAuth by logging into Twitter yourself and changing your password. Your tool will cease to work.
We decided not to say which ones are saying this, but if you want to know please comment and we’ll link you up.
