That's true, it does violate one of the tenets of OAuth. In your case, saving the access token may not be the most ideal solution, for the simple fact that you apparently ONLY deal with Twitter and you expect logins from multiple systems. You could either require OAuth at every step using Sign in

You could encrypt/decrypt the token in a cookie. You certainly wouldn't want to store it in plain-text. Or, in your database, have username, password, and access token. The user enters their username and password to authenticate to you that they are that user. The more secure part of OAuth is
