Fredric, most of the services we use do not provide a secure method of authentication for third-party apps. Twitter, for instance, provides no secondary password or API key to authenticate. You have to use your login and password.

FB is not on the list of sites at this time, but if it were, you would see that it authenticates in the same manner as Flickr. You have to actually click through to the original site to provide authorization for the third-party application.

If we do find out there are some issues or shenanigans, we can contact the guy in this video: http://www.kyte.tv/ch/6118-...

Be wary of signing up for any site that requires you to use your creds. Granted they are endorsed, but don't be surprised if your FB or twitter account gets hacked.
