Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17197.html "> Beijing time August 31 morning news, according to foreign media reports, Twitter employee Road Grass Bowman (Douglas Bowman) Twitter will terminate its support for basic auth validation by August 31, recommending developers to use OAuth, the Twitter said recently.

OAuth has several advantages over basic auth: First, developers don't have to worry about leaking user information due to a bug.

Second, developers don't have to worry about users changing their passwords. Even if the user changes the password, the original program can still be used by the OAuth user.

Third, there is no need to worry about other programs pretending to be normal programs, because only developers can set the author's signature.

Four, using OAuth developers to use more Twitter APIs, because some APIs are only allowed OAuth programs to use. (slides)
