No. There is no way for the user to verify they are entering their passwords into Twitter.com unless they get redirected to twitter.com.

You can not use OAuth if you want. I can't speak for anyone else but I no longer use webapps that ask for my Twitter password.

Yeah, I am going to stick with OAuth. I wouldn't give another site my Twitter account info so I am going to expect others too.
