Currently gwibber uses an embedded web browser to handle the
authorization, it doesn't see any passwords. However, there are plans
to remove the gwibber accounts dialog completely and use a more system
wide solution, which should handle oauth much better. I marked this as
won't fix, because the tool in question should be removed completely.

Title:
Gwibber doesn't use webbrowser to authenticate twitter, instead asking
users to put in password into the application
Status in Gwibber:
Won't Fix
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gwibber
Gwibber has no accounts. I am setting up a twitter account. I clicked
authorize.
What happens:
A little twitter web page opens in the gwibber application and asks
for my username and password
What should happen:
I expect my webbrowser to open a new tab with the twitter "authorise
this application" page. I have already signed into twitter on my web
browser.
The point of OAuth is so applications don't have to save passwords,
however i can't know if gwibber is saving my password.
