Hi All,

I think it would be cool if this could be looked at soon as well! I've
started using OAuth for the Analytics API recently after someone I was
working for found that there was a funnel drop-off in their sign up
process on the page where they were asked for their Google Account
password. There's also some issues with ClientLogin due to the CAPTCHA
challenges, keeping password changes in sync, and the more recent 2
step verification codes that aren't issues with OAuth.

Additionally, the documentation for Google accounts authorization
(http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/GettingStarted.html)
suggests that ClientLogin is a legacy API and OAuth should be used
instead. Moreover, the documentation states that ClientLogin is only
for installed applications and should not be used for web
applications. These types of system are supposed to use either AuthSub
or OAuth to keep customer accounts confidential.

I was hoping to start using OAuth with the AdWords API until I
realized about this problem. The Reporting Service is one of the ones
I use most often so can't move to it before it's resolved. I was
considering trying to work around it by emailing reports out but
AdWords doesn't actually send them as attachments (unless I've missed
something) and you still need to login with an email and password to
download the report.

Regards,

Ewan
