Well I don't like that.. does anybody here think about user experience? What is a rock solid security model good for, when nobody uses it because it's just cumbersome? As always in life, trade offs need to be made. I could design a black box where nothing would ever get in or out, but this box wouldn't be useful for anything... Also I can't find the word Browser in Twitter Client, and what's so secure about the Browser anyway? There's no reason to trust it! It's just another program, like the Twitter Client of your choice is too. Or can you make Mozilla responsible if someone gets his Accounts hacked while using Firefox? :P PS: My client uses xAuth too, but I dismiss the password instantly after the Request has been send, I think that's is a suitable solution.

Browserless environments. I'm pretty sure that was one of the initial motivators way back when the crud was flying. Yeah ... but I *like* having the browser involved. -- M.
