Couldn't agree more. There has to be a better way. And, there very nearly is with OAuth. However, and this is a pet peeve, whenever I use a OAuth account to log in to a 3rd party site, they require far more entitlements than they need. Thus making me nervous, and resorting to site specific user/passwords. To enable me to post this comment. I logged in with my Twitter ID, which asked fir the following entitlements (this is the actual text): • Read Tweets from your timeline. • See who you follow, and follow new people. • Update your profile. • Post Tweets for you. What a joke!!! A little more respect, and we'd already be there with a Internet identity.
